Sculptor, shape shifter, and performance artist.
I glorify the mundane, the subtle, and the discreet and shed light on a side of our daily life that often remains unseen.
My name is Manuela Benaim. I was born in Caracas, Venezuela in 1996.
My work invites viewers to engage with a stranger's body by using their intuition as a tool to interpret hidden metaphors.
Each piece unravels unspoken truisms of the majesty and mystery of inhabiting a human body.
Transitory passengers, fleshy avatars of the human experience.
The universal impermanence of the body.
