For most people, x-rays are almost always disturbing. They are usually associated with hospitals, doctors and sickness. For me, there is always equal fascination with the imagery layered on top the fear of what the imagery might be revealing. These amazing images can present the wonders of the human body, it's beautiful, inter-connected systems of tissue, bone, cavity and circuitry. Some say to consider the construction of the human body is to see the face of God. Most often, however, when we are presented with such imagery, not only are we faced with our own fragile, organic nature, but we are made vulnerable by a medical profession who interpret the foreign unreadable data, diagnose our ailments, and predict our futures. Endowed with this power, embedded with our most vigorous hope and exposing our harshest realities, these medical documents serve as a symbol of our inner fears, and finite existence.
