Three fragmented male bodies bathe within the same surgically white bathroom, posing classically, conveying the inescapable passage of time. Routine and transcendence meet the human body is both immortal and shockingly fragile.
Three similarly pale male bodies spanning three decades, men in their 20s, 30s, and 40s, bathe at different times within the privacy and intimacy of the same impeccably white domestic bathroom, posing classically, and ultimately conveying the inescapable passage of time.
The body is exposed, but the anonymous aspect of the various bodies and body parts cuts through what would otherwise have been a voyeuristic spectacle. The photographs hold a fine balance between formal concerns and desire, between the art-historical and contemporary media images.
