UNCANNY

The human body is a malleable canvas of self-expression, bridging the connection between our inner essence and the external world. Many worship the original form of the body as a sacred vessel, but throughout history, body modification has provided a means to transform it into an endless realm of possibilities. Altered and redefined, the modified body becomes simultaneously familiar and unfamiliar, creating a “glitch” in our recognition system often described as the “uncanny effect”. The process of modification draws us closer to our physical vessels, erasing the original identity and birthing something entirely new. This collection weaves a narrative of an extraterrestrial entity gradually inhabiting a human form, replacing the host's flesh and soul piece by piece. By adding technologies such as 3D printing and silicone casting, the diversity of materials gives the collection a futuristic tone.
