The Unfaltering Nature of Our Bodies: Seven Deadly Sins Embodied by Isha Camara

MEDIUM: Digital Illustration

DESCRIPTION:
I wanted to humanize the Seven Deadly Sins, as they are often described as inherently wrong dispositions for human beings. For me, it is natural to feel “bad” emotions, as it is more instinctual. And in everyday decisions, we choose to lean in and out of the instinct. This makes these “sins” as good as they are bad, depending on our needs, wants, and desires.

ARTIST’S STATEMENT:
I wanted to create something that speaks to the human condition, free will, and nature vs. nurture. My major is Human Development and Family Studies, and I’ve been in conversation about human behavior depending on who they are, but also their environment, family, and other influences. And as an artist, I wanted to use movement and color to represent these human emotions.
