Meeting Abstract

“Body Whispers MLD” – Visual Dialogues Between Organs and Emotions

Murielle Lacroix - Independent Artist

Text

Background: Body Whispers MLD is an artistic project exploring the dialogue between human organs and emotional states. Through digital collage, photography and symbolic imagery, the works aim to visualize the inner landscape of the body as a living, emotional territory.

Objectives: The project seeks to make visible the often invisible connections between physical organs and emotions such as anger, joy, sadness, release and resilience. By translating bodily sensations and emotional experiences into visual form, the artworks invite reflection on healing, self-awareness and emotional embodiment.

Methods: The artworks are created using photography combined with digital collage techniques. Each piece focuses on a specific organ (such as the liver, lungs, kidneys, heart or colon) and its symbolic emotional resonance. Color, texture, archival imagery and floral elements are used to create layered compositions that evoke both vulnerability and transformation.

Results: The resulting series offers a visual language that bridges art, emotion and health. The works have been exhibited in artistic contexts and resonate with audiences by fostering emotional recognition, dialogue and a sense of inner connection.

Conclusion: Body Whispers MLD contributes to the field of healing arts by proposing an intuitive and poetic approach to bodily awareness and emotional well-being. The project positions art as a space for listening to the body, supporting reflection and opening pathways toward healing and inner balance.
