‘Untitled; a furniture piece’ (2025) - Body Economy

Video below ⬇️

Observing interactions between dominance and submission catechize our stereotypical understandings in ‘Untitled’. Through kink, we expand on power's influence between people and the dynamics present between them.

Kink, a community type-casted and trite with assumptions, unapologetically explores power and our relationship with it to its core. In this collaboration, artist Kalana Grace brings her familiarity of taboos and explicit sexuality onto the transparency of Mercedes’ practice of glass, concrete and dynamics at play in connections.

The Dom and Sub share their scene, providing insight and intimacy to the public eye. In the traditional nature of a submissive figure, they become a utility to the dominant by creating a table for the Dom with glass and their body. The Dom explores this piece with curiosity and pleasure, watching the scene before them play out and engaging with it.

The Dom figure plays with their toys, discovering where their sexuality lies in this scene before them and how they deploy their power, traditional and otherwise.
