Homo Natura examines how bodies are disciplined and sanitized as they are made to pass from “nature” into “culture.” Drawing on visual and scientific archives such as medical diagrams and encyclopedic imagery, the work traces how bodily norms are shaped by hegemonic ideals of cleanliness, containment, and integrity. Against these regimes, the installation proposes porous, leaking bodies that refuse coherence, exposing the fragile boundary between inside and outside and insisting on a body that remains unruly, entangled, and alive.
