The Embodiment Series is a project that I developed during my studio residency at The University of Texas at Austin's College of Fine Arts in the spring of 2019. This project is an expression of activism that communicates a tangible and visible representation of crucial ideas, qualities, and feelings of the current times. During the residency, the term ‘Embodiment’ became a reflection of people who I brought into the studio to work with personally, and other bodies that I created from photo references and my imagination that relates to the embodiment of social issues we experience as individuals.
