The body establishes its first physical contact with space when the foot touches the ground. Viewed through Martin Heidegger’s conceptual framework of “dwelling” and “place,” the foot becomes the most material indicator of settling into the world; it is the boundary of the body that meets the earth.

The contact that the ice-made foot form establishes with the ground is destined to vanish. As the ice melts and disappears over time, it points to the discontinuity of belonging, the transience of the body as matter, and the continual transformation inherent in the relationship between body and space. This state of disappearance provokes questions: Where does space truly begin? And is belonging established through mere presence, or through absence?
