Human Senses

A series of intimate mixed media and collage works on canvas (20 x 20 x 4 cm) exploring the architecture of human perception, physical anatomy, and sensory adaptation.

At 14, my sister was left with one leg. I am sure she could write a book about her one-legged life journeys. Watching her navigate a world suddenly altered forced me to closely observe how the human body adapts, fragments, and processes reality when physical completeness is shifted. Her journey became the quiet yet powerful, lifelong inspiration behind this artistic investigation into our sensory portals.

In each composition, fragments of the human form are isolated and multiplied to spotlight a singular sense—fingers graze to map out touch, eyes fixate to capture sight, and forms shift to process sound, taste, and scent. By stacking and orchestrating these anatomic patterns, the collages examine the intricate relationship between sensory memory, emotion, and identity. The collection becomes a visual conversation on the profound nature of perception, celebrating the resilience of the human form as it textures our shared experience of life.
