Glowing Lines
Glowing Lines investigates growth as a non-linear process, exploring the contradiction
between the body's natural course and the elements that interject with it illness, mental
states, and lived experience. The project challenges the assumption that growth is purely
physical or tied to age, instead examining how it manifests internally and externally, across
all different forms and phases of life.
Light is central to this work, used to conceal and reveal both physical and internal instances
of growth hair transplants, uncontrollable bodily change, scars left by illness, and the
quieter, invisible growth that occurs in response to different environments and experiences.
Glowing Lines presents intimate portraits and close-ups of subjects, each capturing a
different relationship with growth. Through vanity, anxiety, survival, and adaptation, the
work examines what it truly means to grow, how it is constantly happening, and what interrupts that process.
