The Flesh
What happens when the organic begins to melt into the surreal?
The Flesh is an experimental video artwork that explores the space between natural form and surreal transformation. Through a blend of macro imagery, coloured wax, layered sound, and abstract editing, this piece invites the viewer into a sensory landscape that is at once earthly and otherworldly.
Created as part of an exploration into tactility, sensory immersion, and the boundaries of perception, The Flesh meditates on the quiet power of organic materials - and the way they move, melt, and morph.

The Flesh has been exhibited in both digital and physical formats:
Interactions (2021) – Online Exhibition for AUB
Hosted as part of the Interactions digital showcase, this exhibition explored how digital artworks can evoke tactility, intimacy, and emotional resonance through screen-based experiences. Viewers were invited to engage with sensory-focused work in a solitary, immersive way.
Our changing landscape (2022) SPUD OPEN 2022, Sway, UK
Exhibited on a TV monitor, leaning against the wall with headphones, The Flesh was presented as an intimate viewing experience within a shared space — highlighting the tension between isolation and quiet connection in sensory art. -
