Exquisite Proof | Exquisite Proof aestheticizes and records the moment of metamorphosis. The pinprick of the subject forcing itself through into another plane, the fissure occurring before our eyes: the before, the after, the act that unites the two states of existence together within the same visual space. Within the series Exquisite Proof, the ephemeral is being utilized as a means to document and preserve a moment of transformation, to understand it more fully, to aestheticize a moment that oftentimes occurs without our knowing or understanding that it has even occurred. We rarely engaged with metamorphosis so abruptly or so distinctly, for humans it is a gradual change, a series of events which alter us, which impose that transformation. This series condenses this progression into a singular image in order to depict that which occurred, that which is occurring, and that which will occur. Exquisite Proof is the fissure, the puncture, the wound that opens up another existence. www.kaitlinbotts.com
