The body is not merely a physical entity; it reflects internal struggles,
social pressures, and personal conflicts. “Do I Eat Myself?” makes visible
the ongoing tension shaped by body image disorders and eating disorders,
questioning the individual’s relationship with their own body.
The question of whether the body is a space of belonging or a form of
confinement forms the conceptual core of the work. Cycles that cannot be
broken, feelings of alienation, fear of erasure, and the effort toward
self-acceptance position the body not only as an object, but as a lived
experience.
The project functions as an invitation to inward transformation while also
reflecting a collective experience. It explores the meaning of the body,
its limits, and the invisible struggles it carries.
Dysmorphophobia, presented as a sub-series within the project, describes
a perceptual disorder in which the individual experiences their body as
distorted and foreign. These images act as both testimony and confrontation,
reflecting a shared psychological struggle.
