Once upon a time, I fed two little goats. One day, I found thirteen skins—remnants of no-more-goats. Their bodies were gone, but their scent remained, stronger than ever. Goat skin is useful—it covers tambourines, becomes an object, something to be played, transformed, consumed.. This made me think about how easily we turn nature, animals, and marginalized bodies—especially women’s—into objects. Society constructs the “Other” to justify its domination, stripping them of agency, reducing them to resources, to instruments, to absence. This video performance is an essay on pain, loss, and the struggle to protect what is vulnerable in a collapsing world—a world that thrives on objectification and erasure.
