Leg
A chromogenic print is delicately abraded with sandpaper, obscuring and distorting an image of a leg in a way that feels both violent and tender. Dicke's physical intervention on the photograph's surface erodes the slick commercialism of the original image, transforming it into something raw and fragmented. The tension between the smooth photographic process and the rough, handmade abrasion speaks to themes of the female body, beauty standards, and the act of erasure.
