Pitiful sheep
Maeeeee….
Humans are like sheep—fragile and repetitive, moving under the faint echo of one another.
Driven by the fear of separation, we seek comfort in belonging, mistaking it for choice. Most believe they act freely, unaware of the quiet desire for sameness that guides them. Even the longing for uniqueness finds solace in small differences—a larger handbag, the shade of a curtain, the initials embroidered on a sweater.

Our three-character names are as weightless as the thin plates that bear them.
They signify nothing beyond habit and function, revealing the paradox of a self that craves individuality while surrendering to sameness.
The Korean word Amugae—meaning “Anyone”—embodies this quiet tension: the universal struggle to remain distinct within conformity.

The warmth of the womb that once held and protected me has vanished, leaving only a pouch of nutrients for biological survival and the protrusion that delivers it.
This image, reduced to pure function, becomes a metaphor for mechanical motherhood—a state stripped of intimacy and attachment.

In the inevitability of unity, we long to be distinct.
Humans resemble sheep—fragile, repeating gestures, speaking in echoes, moving together in quiet patterns of belonging. The fear of separation runs deep.
From the ceiling, two legs hang wrapped in wool, exposing bare flesh. The shoes read “Follow Me,” and below them, footprints trace the sand, inviting others to walk the same path. The legs hover between human and animal, between the desire for freedom and the instinct to follow. They reveal how vulnerability binds us—how the need for connection quietly overrides autonomy.
The footprints will fade, but the longing to belong remains, echoing our fragile will to stay near one another.
