Anatomy of Flesh

Anatomy of flesh is a documentation of the journey Rebekah Morris has taken to heal the negative relationship with herself and her body. Using the process of photography as a from of exposure therapy, Rebekah is striving to create something beautiful from something negative. The imagery within the project is comprised of self portraits of her naked body taken over a length of time. The portraits are printed on to glass panes in the darkroom with a lengthy process using liquid emulsion. Due to the nature of this process, Rebekah spends a lot of time confronting herself.

The glass panes are meticulously hand sewed into a book showing the evolution of imagery between the early stages of this process to where Morris is now. The book is also used as a sculpture and displayed in a circular spiral pattern. The glass panes replicate the transparency, vulnerability and fragility integral for a project such as this.
