Wette • New Watercolors by Alex Diamant • November 13th - December 30th, 2015
The leash is a tool used to control. The leash is not used to achieve total control, rather it is used to set boundaries on one’s freedom. The length of the leash determines the radius of the subject’s sphere of freedom. Within this sphere total freedom is possible. If it is desired that limits be placed on this freedom, another tool must be used. The leash can only be used to define the sphere. It is important to note that the leash can only function as described if the subject is weak.
If more control is desired, simply remove the subject’s limbs. This will dramatically increase the control over the subject. If this new amount of control does not suffice, simply kill the subject, and total control will be achieved. You may now even remove the leash and surrender no control whatsoever.
