Nali Me Tangere

               The Latin words,"Nali Me Tangere," inspired me. The idea that touch is even in                              words is a profound idea to me. By placing the words on my own skin I have                                                created a situation of a conundrum. Words that ask to not be touched are being                                     touched just by meaning the word touch, and are furthering the experience of                                              being touched by being on my skin.
                                   Skin is so strong and durable. It can be peeled off, rubbed                                                   off and burned off. Your skin will still protect you and grow back. I                                               wanted to show the durability of my own skin by making it look rougher                                                      with dark shadows and sharp contrasting highlights, helping exaggerate                                                        the thickness.
