Regulated bodies, veiled intentions, and the politics of visibility
In an age where algorithms determine acceptability and modesty is enforced by opaque policies, the representation of the human body is no longer a private or purely artistic matter — it is a site of negotiation, tension, and erasure.
These drawings confront that negotiation. They explore desire, ambiguity, and the aesthetic of concealment in response to a culture increasingly uncomfortable with nuance. Some were removed from digital platforms; others exist in the uneasy space between what is allowed and what is suppressed. Rather than retreating into provocation, the series engages with the visual language of censorship — cropping, redaction, distortion — as a conceptual tool.
Terms of Exposure invites the viewer to consider not just what is shown, but what is hidden — and why.
