Artwork Statement
Reservoir reimagines the body’s relationship with wearable medical devices by externalizing blood storage as a fashion accessory. Inspired by devices that hold, nurture, or dispose of the body's fluids—ranging from IV drips and insulin pumps to excrement bags—the work examines the duality of external reservoirs. Whether sustaining or discarding, these devices blur the line between necessity and identity. Reservoir provokes questions about the visibility and aesthetics of bodily management, proposing a future where medical functionality and self-expression coexist.

Artist Statement
Reservoir confronts the complex relationship between body, function, and form by blending medical purpose with personal adornment. In relocating blood—a substance deeply internal—into a visible, wearable form, the work highlights how the body’s needs can transform into public-facing statements. Referencing medical apparatuses that either sustain or discard, Reservoir imagines a new frontier where bodily utility becomes integral to individual expression, inviting viewers to question the evolving boundaries of what it means to wear life or loss as part of oneself.
