‘...Closer to God...’ is both an explicit and intimate visual study of the discourses that determine which bodies are deemed desirable and worthy of admiration in a sexualised economy. In a stylised tablaeu, lit like renaissance paintings, the camera examines bodies frozen in embrace and desire.

Poetically disseminating knowledge about the discrimination of fat people as it relates to career and financial opportunities The interweaving of explicit intimate imagery and scientific research reveals discourses judging which bodies are deemed worthy of sexualization and the financial consequences that follows.
