Comparing the delicate undulations of a knuckle with fruit juice vesicles creates a bizarrely grotesque visuality. However, using a macro lens, my intention was to transform and objectify the body through its placement against a grapefruit, and I think the initial 12inches² dimensions do not project this intent. As these measurements are comfortable to the human eye, the sizing barely alters the viewer’s perception of what is seen. Thus, blowing the image up to a much larger size may transform it more elaborately and effectively. The details would be scaled, thus removing the definition, and in turn transfiguring the imagery into something which the viewer may have to analyse and re-think before knowing what it is.

We are aware of the appearance of our hands and these fruits, but, perhaps, when confronted with them at an abnormally large scale it will remove their recognisability and thus emphasise the questions I wished to pose: are our bodies similar and comparable to non-human biological bodies? And, thus, does our spiritual substance take precedence over our physical material?
