The Vase
PERFORMING IMAGE collaboration with Manuel Vason
The collection of images entitled ‘The Vase’, were curated as part of a Performing Image Workshop lead by Manuel Vason.
I suffer from scoliosis, often feeling trapped within my body and its shortcomings. This image is a visual depiction of how my body feels to exist within. A crumbling sculpture you admire, wondering how long it’s got left before it’s nothing but rubble.
We captured the crooked nature of my spine, holding a camera torch up with one hand whilst I posed. It felt important to be the one spotlighting my form. A reclamation of its usual gaze.
