This project was developed during a period marked by illness.
It stages a body in crisis—fractured, unstable, estranged from its own form. A body that no longer feels like its own: changing, expanding, healing, betraying.
The starting point was simple: to measure the skin that had stretched as a result of a sudden weight gain caused by medication.
Faced with a loss of control—over appearance, sensation, and limits—this act became an attempt to reconfigure myself within an altered body.
At the same time, the work reflects on the clinical world: a space entered in a state of vulnerability, governed by its own rituals of observation, measurement, and control.
The stretch marks running across my stomach became the most visible trace of this transformation—external lines marking an internal process. A pattern of forced metamorphosis.
Using red paint as a trace of the inner body, I covered these marks and pressed myself against a white wall. Rolling across its surface, I transferred the body outward—turning it, momentarily, inside out.
Afterwards, I measured the total length of the trace.
249 mm.
