The human body as a sapient consciousness and a complex system of organic machinery has been well documented and debated throughout the ages by philosophers and scientists like David Hume, Sigmund Freud, Jonas Salk, and René Descartes. It is the artist alone however, who is capable of capturing the essence of the human spirit both dramatically and consistently, without reducing it simply to a series of rational functions, palimpsest psychosis, or neural chemical transmissions. And yet even as the body is captured, along with something of the soul, the sum total of the parts seems to outweigh the gravity of the whole. It is the topography of these parts and their exquisite vivacity that defines the vibrance of prima facie human existence.
