'Body, I' portrays the implications of perceiving the body as a separate entity from the self. This merchandising of the physique responds to social media profiling, where the body symbolizes a foreign reality. The multiplicity of identities is disorienting and can lead to a broken sense of self.

"Body, I" appears in the 2016 Gallatin Arts Festival.
