The video work captures the interaction between horses and the engineered environments designed for their maintenance, exploring the relationship between horses and technology in contemporary equine care. Once vital to labor and agriculture, the horse now finds itself in controlled spaces of leisure and wellness, where machines dictate movement and routine. Set within the sterile environments of equine healthcare, the work reflects on themes of care and control, nature and machine, organic life and mechanized systems. The wellness treatments become both a tool of healing and a symbol of how animal life is shaped by industrial rhythms.
