The sculpture, A Strict Devotion to an Ambiguous Task, reflects the futile urge to pin down the fluid, shifting nature of gender. A cast plastic figure—frequently mistaken for steel—embodies how gender is often presumed fixed and binary, yet can exist beyond such confines. The figure strides across a precarious platform, balanced on a rusted shoe form, a tool of shaping and constraint. The base, which is bolted to Foucault’s The History of Sexuality, rests in a small wagon with a pull string, symbolizing the weight of entrenched discourse dragged in pursuit of certainty. The work reveals the tension between society’s rigid devotion to categorizing gender and the impossibility of containing something inherently indeterminate and resistant to definition.
