X-RAYS: IN LIVING COLOR 

In X-rays: In Living Color, the body’s hidden scaffolding becomes a site of  invention. Bone, tissue, and cells, once instruments of clinical diagnosis, are reimagined as metaphors for human endurance, emotional memory, and spiritual insight. What formerly whispered of disease and dysfunction now speaks in vibrant tones of color, rhythm, and poetic resonance.

Using fragments of mammograms, DNA sequencing gels, and radiographic images, I digitally collage and transform what was once grayscale into richly layered colored prints. These works resist easy classification: they are not portraits, yet they speak to identity; not landscapes, yet they pulse with vitality. They hover between tradition and transformation, dissolving the boundaries between photography and digital art, medicine and metaphor. 

Drawing from the tradition of medical humanism, this series invites viewers to see beyond the diagnostic to recognize the symbolic, emotional, and existential dimensions of the human body.

By pulling the X-ray out of its nineteenth century clinical confines and into the vivid palette of twenty-first century imagination, these works ask: what does it mean to see the body not just as data, but as story? Not just as a subject of science, but as a symbol of shared vulnerability and inner light. Here, the invisible becomes visible; and the clinical becomes, somehow, profoundly human.
