These images of dismembered bodies, inspired by the paintings of French surrealist Fernand Leger, were made over a period of10 months in 2003 using sculpted plaster body parts. The images served as a reflection of my thoughts during that time. I considered whether caring for someone can be enough, or not, the calm feeling after falling apart, and the importance of loving and protecting one's self.
