What Remains explores the relationship between the mind and the body, and how that relationship is changed when an individual experiences trauma. Traumatic experiences have a tendency to create a disconnect between the mind and body, this is a means by which the individual’s subconscious intends to protect itself. It is Rusk’s intent to reconcile the relationship between the mind and body through hula hooping using a series of hoops made out of unlikely materials. In this she explores the fragility of the body, the fragility of the material, and the sympathy of all things.
