The Name of Love

Installation
Medium: Oil on canvas, Iron desks, Tufting carpets, Pets toys, Sound Dimension: Multiple specification

The purpose of this project space is to express the symbiotic relationship of love and dominance between humans and pets. The core concept of the work is to explore the complex emotions
behind this seemingly gentle control by depicting pets in their state post-neutering surgery. Wrapped in post-surgical garments to prevent them from licking their wounds, the pets are surrounded by brightly colored toys, creating a seemingly lighthearted atmosphere. However, the pets’ unconscious state starkly contrasts with the cold reality, symbolizing their loss of the freedom to choose in a human- dominated world. This gentle control is filled with contradictions, combining affection with a strong desire for dominance. Through this exhibition, I aim to prompt viewers to reconsider the relationship between humans, animals, and nature.
