A reclining figure with exaggerated form, its limbs replaced by branching extensions. A black chain drapes from its back—perhaps a weight, perhaps a signal. *Between Shame and Want* is the portrayal of a person caught between two forces: desire and restraint. It is not a passive body, nor a willing one—it questions the viewer’s role in creating or consuming what is seen. Does the figure exist like this, or only through our gaze?
