assignment:

Ten silhouettes full-size silhouettes were drawn on butcher paper, and of these five were chosen. Each silhouette is assigned a narrative, and represents one way I see and understand my body and the things it is composed of - its organs, memories, scars, wounds, stories, sounds, surprises, densities, hollows, developments, emptiness. Each silhouette is made into a body with relevant texts, icons, images and substances.

We are being asked to consider the relationship of our skin (outer layer - the thing that is the mediating layer and container that separates our internal body from the world) to the body that it covers (its parts, metaphors, systems).
