Lily Dooks - Movement of Existence

In short, I have been exploring the relationship between the mind and the body, the importance of existing as an integrated whole. Historically, particularly in the west, we have adopted a disembodied morality. Through certain philosophical and theological beliefs the body has been denigrated in favour of the mind. As in society we favour the individual over the community, we also adopt these principles in ourselves, much to our demise. However, this is not our true nature, our true intelligence, we as animals have a greater inborn capacity that is waiting to be realised and nurtured. There is much to learn and experience in our lived bodies that will improve our quality of life both personally and on a societal level. These are a few collages I have made in response to some of my findings.
