Reflective Bodies, is a series of photographs from constructed life-sized scenes exploring owners and their collections, themes of repetition, and one’s habitual relationship to their built environment. Utilizing the practice of origami, the figures are created from a multitude of printed photographs depicting the area surrounding them, thus reflecting their domestic space and possessions. These constructed scenes blend personal memories with narrative fiction. By staging the psychological state of an individual trapped in moments of compulsion and habit, I aim to reveal the intersection between the conditions of the mind and one's personal surroundings.
