Photography Series: Second Skin

Second Skin is an exploration of the human body's relationship with fabric as an extension of identity, protection, and vulnerability. Through wet textiles clinging to the skin, the series investigates how fabric becomes a second layer of flesh, revealing, concealing, and distorting the body's form. This interplay between texture, movement, and transparency evokes themes of intimacy, transformation, and the fragility of human presence. By emphasizing the material's response to water and motion, the images capture the tension between exposure and concealment, dissolving the boundary between skin and fabric.
