The Body in Flux

The Body in Flux explores the human body as a transitional space between the internal and the external, the human and the natural, stability and transformation. The body becomes a point of encounter between two environments: a person’s inner state manifests through physical form, while the external environment gradually enters, influences, and transforms it.

Throughout the series, the body is rarely presented in a familiar or stable position. It bends, loses its verticality and sense of support, moves closer to the ground, and transitions from one physical state to another. Movement and blur intensify this sense of instability, as though the body is captured not in a completed form, but in the very process of becoming something else.

Natural elements gradually disrupt the boundary between the body and its environment. Plants emerge from the skin, soil leaves traces on the body, and hair takes on forms reminiscent of roots or branches. These elements do not function as decoration around the human figure; instead, they visually extend the body itself. The human and the natural begin to occupy the same space, making it increasingly difficult to determine where one ends and the other begins.

At the same time, the environment within the series remains deliberately constructed. This is not a literal return to a natural landscape, but a created space in which the body undergoes physical and psychological transformation. It both responds to its environment and gradually becomes part of it.

The installation element within the exhibition space extends this interaction beyond the photographic image. A vertical structure incorporating a natural branch functions as a threshold — a boundary between states and environments. In this way, The Body in Flux unfolds as a space of transition, where the body ceases to exist as a fixed form and becomes a site of continuous exchange between the internal and the external.
