Transparent compensation, always.

MANIKIN centers on the beauty of the body, exploring the human form through the lens of anatomical reference. The work draws from the tradition of articulated wooden figures, using the silhouette to investigate physical presence and posture. This focus allows for a deep exploration of how the body is perceived in both art and life. The practice incorporates experimental materials and is influenced by the aesthetics of Japanese woodblock prints and Pre-Columbian sculpture. From realistic figures placed in urban environments to textured studio pieces, the work examines the intersection of the human frame with its surrounding space and historical influences.
