ANXIETY DRYER and THE PET are two sculptural bodies assembled from body bags,
concrete, metal, plastic, and mirror, positioned as a dysfunctional pair. Their forms are
skeletal and contorted, resembling improvised machines or malformed creatures caught
mid-collapse. Layers of black body bags stretch and sag over rigid metal frames, while
concrete hardens selectively into joints and masses, freezing gestures that suggest strain,
restraint, and arrested motion. The structures appear simultaneously engineered and
wounded—objects built to contain, process, or discipline something that resists
containment.
Installed together, the works stage an asymmetrical relationship between apparatus and
dependent body. ANXIETY DRYER reads as a processing unit—an exposed mechanism
without clear function—while THE PET appears tethered, subordinate, or trained, its
mirrored surface fragmenting both itself and the viewer. Neither sculpture is fully
autonomous; each seems to require the other to complete its role. What emerges is a
closed system of care and control, intimacy and coercion, where anxiety circulates but is
never discharged. The installation operates as a bleak choreography of attachment—objects
locked into mutual dependence, unable to comfort, unable to detach.
