In effect, we are our race, gender, and age. Yet, because the self is fluid and able to change we cannot be reduced to these exterior attributes. To tease out the fluidity of identity, I use anatomical drawings, wax sculpture, and digital montage to hybridize myself to others. By creating multiple personas of myself, I expose that identity is like a mobious strip upon which internal and external social realities write the body. "Flesh" and "soul" are not dictomized essentials, but two sides of a coin that has circulated for so long that its humanly fabricated nature has been all but forgotten.
