Synopsis
One afternoon, I happened to encounter a lizard shedding its tail and scurrying away. Somehow, I found myself strangely identifying with that tail. Perhaps a person is made up of two selves, and maybe Ive survived by autotomizing a part of myself, just like that lizard.
Purpose
Humans are multilayered and complex beings. They can be both emotional and rational, logical yet impulsive?like a boy who loves heavy metal but also cherishes cat plushies. However, modern society often fails to accept individuals who embody multiple, coexisting facets. Just as a lizard severs part of its body in a moment of crisis, we, too, may sacrifice parts of ourselves in order to survive. In this sense, [Autotomy] sheds light on the process of discarding an essential part of our identity?another version of ourselves that we are forced to deny for the sake of social survival. This exploration seeks to bring that lost self back into focus.
