Posture Enhancers
The starting point for Presence is the value and importance society places on bodily perfection and ideals of beauty and health. By focussing on posture, my project draws attention to how the stresses of our daily physical rituals and the office environment are literally changing the shape of who we are.

Posture is a form of unconscious body language. As mind and body are so closely linked, our body language can reflect our psychological state. Deportment and the way we hold ourselves reflect who we are.  Presence explores this and more recent concerns about the holistic ‘self’ and our wish to be healthy, both inside and out.
