Wrapped Human Body Visual Artwork and Statement

Artist Statement: For this assignment I chose to explore themes of nature and surrealism. When conducting my research I chose to attempt to camoflague the model with the surronding setting. I purposely wrapped the torso and legs of the model tightly to symbolize a strong foundation, much like the roots of a plant. The tightly wrapped torso leads to a free flowing material that is meant to depict certain aspects of nature. I chose to leave the feet unwrapped to add a human aspect to the photo and was pleasently surprised with the outcome. My underlying theme of this assignment was to show that it is important  to recognize our roots in order to grow.
