Benefits of Fitness
Performance art can better reveal the truth, and when I realised that prolonged sitting and office work can lead to an out-of-shape body and reduced health, I felt it was important to do this 90-day challenge. I hope that the shock people feel when they see my giant photo wall will make them realise the benefits of fitness. After my 90 days of non-stop strength training, I went from being out of breath walking from the bus stop to the school building to looking great after an hour of fasting cardio. I hope that viewers of my work will realise and start working out in their spare time. That confidence from the inside out will be a great tool for you socially or in the workplace. My work is heavily inspired by the artist Tehching Hsieh, whose work has had a profound effect on me. The biggest reward for me has been the opportunity to document and maintain self-discipline through such a task. I intend to continue with this work and build on it after I leave school.
