Masturbation, 2018
Description :
Masturbation explores the body as a site of tension, release, and the circulation of energy. Two opposing funnel-like forms extend from the sexual organ and the head, creating a visual relationship between physical release and mental state. By connecting two normally separated parts of the body, the work reflects on the contradictory ideas surrounding masturbation as both a form of relief and an expenditure of energy. The sculpture uses this bodily process to examine how physical desire, psychological pressure, and release intersect.
