Form of Animals
Form of Animals – Embryo
‘Form of Animals’ is a series of photographs that originates from my main body of work – ‘The Forms Series’, a project that study the forms of different subjects, in this instance – Animals. Albeit animals are the main focus for the project, no photographs of live animals will included. All “animals” that appear in this project are captured as inanimate objects; most of them are zoological specimens, models, or even corpses.
The motivation for this project is about the message behind these forms as objects. As a photographer, I watch and study these inanimate objects, making me rethink the meaning and reason for life. I begin at a simple starting point for the creation of this project – to see animals as objects and record their forms.
I believe that no matter how one sees life, one cannot change the fact that a biological life is something that starts from zero, and returns to zero. However, with the power of man, this rule has changed. And humanity has developed technology that allows the soulless body to be kept for display purposes. To me, the interplay between life and death carries an ambiguous message which entices me to continue exploring through form through photography.
