Core was conceived as a response to malicious gossip and public shaming—mechanisms that flatten a complex, embodied individual into a reduced, two-dimensional form. The work reflects how social judgment operates as a disciplinary force, penetrating the subject and stripping away interiority, presence, and agency. Within Anatomies of Control, the piece examines how reputational violence becomes a form of embodied constraint.
