IRIS is representative of disability and my personal struggles of living in a world that perceives us differently. It symbolises the dichotomy of perception and vision; mind and body. As a metaphor to the disabled body, I’ve chosen to use a large format camera due to its unpredictability and the spontaneous changes that can happen with the slightest movement. Using light, body casts and botanicals within the displayed images and sculptural artefacts, they illustrate vulnerability, decay, repair, and growth.
