"I Am Not This Body" is a project inspired by a mantra and meditation practice, integrating 3D simulations with a scan of my own body. This artistic endeavor extends beyond visual aesthetics, prompting a deeper contemplation of reality itself. It poses critical questions: What is reality, and how can we be sure that our existence is not just an elaborate simulation? The use of a digital scan acts as a powerful metaphor, suggesting that our perceived 'real world' might itself be an illusion. This project seeks to challenge and expand our understanding of identity and existence, encouraging us to examine the authenticity of our experiences in both the digital and physical realms. Through this exploration, the project aims not only to question but also to redefine our perceptions of the real and the virtual.
