Defaits questions the invisibility of chronically ill individuals and the relationships between humans, microorganisms, and technology in a world where these interactions shape new realities. The bodies appear fragmented, exposing vulnerable parts of a whole marked by failure. The figures merge with the medical environment, blending the organic and synthetic in a constant state of tension.
Through solarization effects and heightened lighting, the work simultaneously evokes both emptiness and the glare of hospital neon lights, revealing what is usually concealed. These light dynamics express a state of extreme exposure, where the biological and the digital intertwine, transforming figures into laboratory artifacts.
This illumination of illness and the tensions it provokes creates a space for reflection on the fragilities and interconnections that define our bodies.
