This work, dealing with topics of self-censorship and creative activity, has a person standing on a high pedestal, with her head (her mind), her mouth, stomach, and legs tied by some bands of black metal that act as the bars used by censors. The person-naked and surrounded by cotton-holds in her hands a piece of raw pig’s meat, sometimes a heart. This work lasts for several hours.
