In My Dreams by Natalia Palacino

This monochromatic piece, with its warm hues, navigates the overarching theme of "body politics." Palacino is interested in pushing the boundaries of the body and exploring how it is impacted by the cultural, social, and environmental landscape of Colombia and the USA.

The piece is an exploration to understand the practices and systems through which the human body is regulated. The paradoxical control that human animals possess and exert over our environment and the battle over individual and social control over our own bodies.
