Dispossession emerged from a dual investigation of French quarries and Chinese processing plants, tracing how the same stone is stripped of its original meaning and transformed into a symbolic commodity within global production chains. Juxtaposing the natural rhythm of mining with the mechanical pulse of assembly lines, the work reveals how capital reshapes nature—and its value—on both material and perceptual levels. Through metaphors of dancers and bats, it further explores how bodies and desires are recoded within media, consumption, and control systems, creating a contemporary cycle of alienation between seeing and being seen.
