For the final project, I will be commenting on body image through a series of photographs that I have taken in Italy last year. The subject is an Italian woman in the nude where I focused on creating different forms of the body. I want to focus on this series of photographs because I enjoy exploring the human perception of the body and how some individuals have a distorted view of themselves. With that being said, I will be focusing most on texture by scratching the surface of my photographs to display 'flaws'. The pattern of scratches will resemble how one carves to make a print, exposing the different value tones by carving less or more. I also want them to be displayed in a more sculpturally manner. This project will challenge me because it will push my ideas for my body of work much further and create an addition of depth to the photographs. I envision these prints being as large as I can make them and in terms of paper, I am thinking matte paper because the scratching will look more crisp on matte paper. I could use help with considering different ways to display my piece sculpturally.
