Overview

Fascinated by recent radiographic images of myself, I wondered, could I blur and obliterate the boundary between medical science imaging and visual art? Could I transform radiographic medical imaging into abstract self-portraits, offering a profound exploration of the human form as seen through the lens of X-ray technology and innovative artistic vision. I asked the audacious question: what if we could see beyond the conventional visual spectrum to capture the essence of our inner selves? Each piece presented here answers this query with striking clarity and depth, revealing not just bones and tissues, but the energetic and spiritual essences that pulse beneath our everyday facade. With these portraits I challenge the viewer to consider the unseen aspects of our existence-the parts of us that are not reflected in a mirror but are integral to our identity, that liminal space between the here and now and someday/elsewhere, the space between waking and dreaming, the space between being lost and being found. I invite you into a world where each radiographic plate transcends its clinical origins to become a canvas that portrays not just physical structures, but emotions and energies that resonate, reflecting the subjective experience of self-reflection and discovery. These are not mere scientific records transformed; they are gateways to introspection and understanding, pushing the boundaries of what art can reveal about the human condition. This book highlights my creative vision and serves as a testament to the power of art to redefine possibilities. It is a reminder that within each of us lies a universe of beauty, complexity, and mystery, waiting to be depicted and understood. As such, these images, my portraits, stand as a profound commentary on the intersection of art, science, and the exploration of the human spirit, making visible what has always been hidden and celebrating the unseen depths of our very selves. Through this groundbreaking fusion of radiography and art, I invite you to see not just physical entities but vibrant landscapes of energy and spirit. It is a journey both inward and outward, a voyage across the boundaries of perception and into the heart of what it means to be human.
