When we think of dissection, what comes to mind is typically the act of examining anatomical structures. Dissection is connoted with a sense of tangibility, but it extends further, as we dissect ideas, and concepts. The artist wanted to explore what happens once you've dissected through every layer of the physical body, leaving nothing left to dissect. Does the dissection end, or can it extend to the more impalpable, abstract voids of our minds?
