The installation evokes a ritual altar, serving as both sculptural presence and performative venue. It aligns personal transformation with a rite of passage, suggesting one must endure cycles of torment andsacrifice parts of oneself to change. This transformation is driven by the tensions of displacement, whether through migration or the societal misunderstanding of otherness. The work emphasises the rawf ragility of individuals navigating toward cross-cultural or community adjustment, like an insect on its back, struggling to regain balance. The chicken feet function as metaphor for the insect's delicate limbs, symbolising the individual's skills, beliefs or experience carried over from a previous life. In the transformed landscape, however, these vestiges become obsolete and useless, merely traces of a past self no longer suited to the present. The only way to get back on feet is to break a few limbs and regrow new ones.
