Art Feature: “Here Is Where I Lie”

Abstract

The body and mind often feel at war. They say our minds work to comprehend while our hearts are driven by temptation. However, our bodies are one and both influence our expressions and identity. By suppressing one or the other, we lose a part of ourselves. The starvation that we put our hearts and minds in influenced this work of art. It illustrates the despair it leaves our soul and the longing to fill that void. To understand our bodies, we further research our needs and mechanisms to develop a more fulfilled life that caters to the needs of ourselves as whole.
