Never Thought I Could Do That

A photography project looking at areas that we have never done. I chose oysters as my topic because although I dislike raw food but people always mentioned how good oysters are, so I set myself a challenge to 'try' and taste oyster. And through photographs I conveyed the idea of the repulsion that I always get when thinking about raw food especially having already tried oysters, it made me feel nauseous even thinking about it.

I showed this through a series of photographs, using a glass as a symbolism of my stomach, I created an atmosphere from a 'clean' stomach to a 'filthy' and 'stained' stomach.

Scoliosis

A one week self-initiated project about scoliosis. For those who do not know what scoliosis is: it is an abnormal lateral curvature of the spine.

A series of photographs taken to make people understand how it feels like to have scoliosis - a condition I was diagnosed with 5 years ago. In order to illustrate the discomfort I experience, I had individuals imitate a crooked standing position consistent with the shape of my spine, and then try to hold that particular pose for an extended period of time. This illustrates the amount of discomfort scoliosis inflicted individuals have to put up with everyday, due to their internal spines being crooked.

The display is purposely done in an angle and descending in order to make the audience experience the discomfort.

During the experiment and testing stage, videos are taken in order to capture the individuals facial expressions and movement. (which I will be putting up soon when I finish editing them)
