KELSEY WALKER

Junior Nathan Croslin is no stranger to the camera. Using photography to capture reality in ways that others may not be able to clearly see, his latest series “.Skin” took on the task of bringing attention to Self Injury Awareness Month.

​

“I like the idea of someone relating to my work,” Nathan told the Mace & Crown in an interview.

​

Referencing the series’ title, Nathan said, “The dot signifies the fact that skin is a multitude of things. It’s beautiful, smooth, marked, light, dark, yours, mine, etc. The purpose of the title was to show that our skin means a lot, but it doesn’t make us who we are. If you ask 10 people what the dot stands for, they might give you ten different answers.”

​

Doing so beautifully, “.Skin” brings a sensitive topic to light.
