 RESTRAINT(S), mixed-media installation

Restraint(S) is an investigation of the dichotomy of the word restraint; how they are used juxtaposed with the meaning that popular culture applies. While the viewer may be pulled in through curiosity, the reality of the struggle presents itself. This work originates from Zucker's profession as a nurse. Experiences of intimacy that blur boundaries are familiar and can be in opposition to caregiving as society defines it.  Through examination of the object, an opportunity to engage in the conversation is offered.
