"objects and silicone" is a series of images that explore objects made of various materials and always includes the $300 unused Amoena silicone breast prosthesis. Each still life embraces the object's forms, surfaces, functions and innate properties. With the unused silicone prosthesis seen separated from a woman's body an avalanche of demystification begins and this object becomes empty of purpose and its emotional and social powers.

Set within a quasi sterile environment the settings are intentionally void of sentimental, romantic light leaving the objects to speak for themselves and to each other. This photographic project is an experiment in observation and the impetus is born from a desire to clarify and unveil a narrative of truth. This impetus exemplifies and remains the fundamental purpose of Rebel1in8.
