The Universe Within This series is an ode to our body, with an entire universe etched in it, it encapsulates the road map to a millennia worth of history. I’m amazed by the tiny details we often tend to overlook or even hide, since the body can also be a source of struggle, with a lot of people feeling insecure in their skin for a multitude of reasons.

In this project, with the help of various people, each having different insecurities regarding their bodies, I want to shed a new light and show the wonders where one would normally see imperfections. With each person having their own piece of the cosmos, I aim to parallel the beauty of these insecurities to that found in the spectacle of the vast universe.

“The human body has been called the microcosm of the universe, a little world of wonders…”
