Sabine Gruhn employs the human form to investigate the nature of loss and perception of self and other. Gruhn, who lost her arm at the age of eight, created this series to examine the body and its fragmentation through her prosthesis. She also uses art as the medium to explore issues of universal concern.

"In the possibility of detachment and fragmentation lies the potential for becoming other. The prosthesis imitates life, as does photography. The materiality of the replica represents our own."

"In finding a medium and method to express myself in a way that can communicate to others, I made use of my own potential. In this context art brought me closer to exhausting my capability."
