This work explores the body, systems of control, and the structure of identity.
Using the neck as a connecting site, it juxtaposes human and animal bodily experiences to examine the relationships between domestication, desire, and directional control. The leash, as a structural mechanism, serves as a metaphor for how power shapes bodily behavior and posture.
In its earlier conceptual phase, the work pushed the idea of “self-erasure” toward an extreme endpoint. In later readings, however, this endpoint is reinterpreted as “facelessness” — a condition in which identity detaches from individual form and reconfigures itself within systemic relational structures.
Thus, the work shifts from a narrative of bodily termination toward an ongoing reconstruction of identity within structures.
