The artist, embodying white consumption and intimidation, was dressed in western business attire. They aggressively consumed a dirt-like substance from an oil drum marked with Coltan in blood-red paint. Following this, the artist dragged the oil drum outside the gallery. Upon re-entering, they maintained a silent, in-character demeanor, evoking a palpable sense of discomfort and unease among the audience by blankly and Intensely looking into the eyes of whoever was speaking and entering their space.
