Flesh and cardboard. Skin and storage. Woman as inventory.

In these images, bodies resist containment. They overflow from boxes, peek through closets, nestle among goods. Here, the female form becomes both product and person, challenging our perception of where one ends and the other begins.

Society's gaze often reduces women to their bodies. But these photographs ask: What happens when the object stares back?

The nude figures here are not passive. They occupy spaces typically reserved for things, asserting their humanity in the face of objectification. They force us to confront our tendency to segment, label, and possess the female body.

Yet there's an unsettling familiarity in these scenes. How often do we, as women, package ourselves for consumption? How much of our identity is shaped by external expectations, neatly folded and stacked like fresh linens?

This work explores the tension between intimacy and exposure, between self and societal reflection. It questions the ownership of flesh - are we proprietors of our bodies, or merely tenants?

Through unexpected unexpected pairings, these images invite us to erase the artificial boundaries between woman and world. They challenge us to see the whole person, beyond common stereotypes.

Ultimately, this series addresses the cliché of body-centrism that has become an undeniable truth through repetition. These images compel us to doubt this "truth".



Selected photographs from this project were exhibited at Maximum Exposure, Image Arts Gallery, Toronto, Canada (2023).
