Forozan Afruzi

The image of the human body is a visual acknowledgment of our identity and self-consciousness. We know, physiologically, what we are or how our body organs work. However, once the integrity of this familiar resource is compromised, this feeling of certainty and recognition alters into ambiguity, uncertainty, and questions. When the body stops functioning and becomes lifeless, it degrades and dissolves, according to its potential. My artworks portray the body as a complete abstract subject with a formalistic perspective from all the complex functions, systems, or figurative view. A body that is composed of a mass of skin and muscle, stretched and intertwined veins, and porous tissues. This attitude will lead to a novel perspective on the concept of ego, which will examine the meaning of being and the existence. An existential attitude that, according to Ervin Yalom, has been one of the unresolved sufferings of humans throughout the history of mankind, in the four contents of death, loneliness, emptiness and freedom.
