About the work
RUT. LOW BARK. DEATH
Recommended age: 12+
Eyes are lustful. Quietly flutters bloated eyelashes. Soupy and cosy foam of the body. Rip it, knead it with a dried birth cord. A fallen belly kisses. Slap with the tongue, bite, argue, strip naked. It will tear, strike or shatter. The giggling maniac will choke. Feed her with a sweaty palate. Tickle her groin, lie down by her armpit. All the vomit from the heart. Slugs from the heart. While making love, she’ll hide, then she’ll stink. Rut, bark dull, decay.

UNTITLED WORLD
Recommended age: 12+
This piece investigates masculinity and its toxicity. Mapping the limits of violence, authority, and stifling emotions while hurting, silencing, controling, yelling in the name of perfect heteronormative status unkowingly engaging in homoerotic actions. The world of suppressed fear and embarrassment entering their bodys everyday to ruin the world around them.
Welcome to our world
Mockery
Fake privacy and safety
Canibalistic rape porn
Decapitation
Including only dead women
No end in sight.
EVERY. SINGLE. DAY.
All over the world
Shoving a sock down the throat
Hush. Hush. Hush.
The storm takes shape, swirling everything into one undeniable truth: change is
here.
