COME LAY DOWN ON MY FLESH
(2026)
3D-Rendering
This work presents the body not as a subject, but as infrastructure. Soft, oversized sculptural forms are reminiscent of cushions or modular lounging areas, covered with the colour and texture of human skin and musculature. The objects subtly contract and expand again, simulating the involuntary rhythms of living tissue – breathing, tension, relaxation.
Rendered in exaggerated scale, these forms invite closeness rather than distance. They blur the boundaries between comfort and discomfort, intimacy and repulsion. Flesh becomes an architectural surface: something to lean against, sink into, or rest upon. The work frames the body not as an idealised figure, but as a material – soft, vulnerable, heavy and inescapable.
The work plays with the idea that, beyond identity, gender and desire, we are all made of the same matter. The invitation – Come Lay Down On My Flesh – is at once tender and unsettling, bringing together care, queerness and abjection in a single gesture.
