A PREDATOR IS A PREDATOR IS A PREDATOR… (2026) depicts a sequence of hawk talons, as if an attack were frozen in time. The forms appear to generate one another in a cyclical movement that evokes the chain of power: a system in which every predator is also prey, and no body can be said to be entirely free. The work recalls Foucauldian reflections on power as a dynamic force that is not possessed but exercised and inscribed upon bodies.
