Body
Image
“Body
Image”
is
an
expression
adopted
from
Psychology
which
means
one's
understanding
of
his/her
own
body.
“Body
Image”
will
change
depending
on
the
personal
experiences
of
each
individual
and
the
destruction
of
the
borders
of
his
body
through
time
in
political,
social
and
medical
occasions.
Any
such
change
is
considered
as a
traumatic
experience,
a
wound
that
blemishes
and
destroys
this
understanding.
Body
Image
also
refers
to
the
body
of
my
paintings.
In
other
words,
I
have
considered
a
body
for
each
image.
A
corrupted
and
torn
apart
body
which
has
been
extracted
from
the
unconscious
of
the
image.
The
works
in
this
exhibition
reveal
the
mind
and
the
memory’s
effort
for
reviving,
reminding
or
recurring
a
traumatic
past,
concentrating
on
both
mentioned
implications
of
the
phrase
“Body
Image”.
