This work implies the process of excretion in human’s body
and how the subject must excrete the excess negative feeling
which devours its life out of the body. By imitating the picture of excretion
into imaginary images and making of sound, this work offers the audience
to be in the state of excreting just like how the subject
experiences it or even doesn’t need to be the same.
