stone lithography and screenprinting, 2010
Edition of 6

Series of prints in the fashion of a LOST and FOUND poster. It borrows through typography and lettering to the esthetic of gore and slasher movies. The print motif  is created using the measurements of scars resulting from a plastic surgery (breast reduction). The piece is answering to the real life loss of a usb key containing the only existing photos of the chest pre-op. In this piece that appears simple, multiple iconographies pertaining to loss, change and greater sues are collapsing. The chosen vocabularies in the motif suggest the loss of the self, a search for direction, the idea of a quest, traveling or escaping or wandering, dissociation. The pictograms explore questions of gender identity, femininity and biologcal body. The shells in correlation with the shape of breasts speak of mermaids which can evoke the sexualisation of the woan's body ad the imperative of hiding its parts. Throught he lense of the well known story of the Little Mermaid, it also evokes the desire for transformation and belonging through body modification,  insecurities and body dismorphia.

Printed on stiff cotton paper.
