Fruity Bodies is a multimedia installation that explores folklore with landscape and the human form, focusing on the female body, native plants and sites of human made structures. The work seeks to make abstract, hybrid connections between non human entities and our human selves, as a way to explore identity, the rural & the urban, empathy for our natural environment & to better understand the human condition.
