ABORIORI

Aboriori explores the representational boundaries of the self and body. The title is Latin and possesses great significance to this project as it directly relates to an actual circumstance and alludes to the situation being revealed. Its meaning is indicative of the experience and of the associated emotions of the subject, myself, that were experienced through a particular difficult time. The profundity of its meaning, ‘to perish’, holds a depth that, to me, narrates the entirety of the situation, that is, a young woman dealing with the impact of a decision to terminate a pregnancy, enduring the collapse of a seven year relationship and coping with the discovery of her fathers cancer.
