“Recidivism”

“Recidivism” explores the concept of repeatedly committing offenses, metaphorically reflecting on humanity’s persistent struggles against nature. The piece critiques the gap between the world people strive to create and the reality of their creations. The metaphor of the whirligig—a street game played by children—is utilized to represent this cyclical nature. The whirligig, made of iron-like material, symbolizes the ongoing cycle of human actions and their consequences. It also critiques how iron, extracted from nature, is repurposed as a weapon against the environment, highlighting the irony and destructiveness of such practices.
