About the Artwork

Compulsion speaks to trauma reenactment, a concept in psychoanalytic theory where individuals unconsciously repeat early relational injuries in different forms. By recreating a distorted form of affection, which resonates with my childhood, the work confronts ambivalent care, where love and violence are entangled. It also addresses themes of power dynamics, bodily autonomy, and the residual effects of childhood neglect. Through this object, I embody the complex emotional terrain of memory, using the body as both site and subject. It serves as a materialized confrontation with past pain—reclaimed, mechanized, and exposed.

My sculpture will be on the plinth, since its using an electrical motor, i would really prefer to place my close to electrical plug. Also would be advantageous but not necessary to get a space with less light, so could also use a spotlight.
