An organ-like glazed ceramic shape hangs from a nickel-plated steel hook with a leather strap. This hanging piece explores the theme of constraint, alluding to BDSM practice and the idea of sexual liberation. The ceramic form of the piece evokes organic shapes reminiscent lungs, contributing to a dialogue within the exhibition and its symbolic elements of meat hooks and their reference to fetish culture. The work incorporates industrial elements, with metal rivets and rings that contain and restrict the organic qualities of the leather. The way it hangs low close the floor suggests a sense of fragility, like a dog lead strap, creating a narrative of control and pendulum-like dynamics.
