Abstract
This thesis summarizes an exhibition that is an amalgamation of 5 different installations that attempt to achieve an elegant invasion of the body. These small studies each hypothesize in their own way that healing of the body can be achieved through inserting yourself in a safe, controlled and curated space that imitates, satirizes and explores trauma in order to cope with it. These studies are captured in photoshoots that are each taken with an art historical, political and/or personal lens. Each photoshoot executes this idea and aims to heal a different part of the body that has been invaded previously, and instead opens it up to be invaded by my own hands elegantly. I hope others can see themselves in my place and feel hope that there is healing.
