A virtual reality immersive experience depicting the landscape constructed through the action of self-hugging associated with anorexia, along with the subsequent feelings of groundlessness, nothingness, and insecurities, our existence is validated when we establish contact with the world through the agency of our bodies. The coexistence of being and nothingness describes our lives, and within this inescapable sense of hopelessness and absurdity, we compromise and struggle to maintain our existence.
