This work depicts a dog biting at his own tail, which is so long that it encircles and twists around the dog itself and the entire frame of the piece. The animal is also being hounded by sharp, angular arrows. Ward explains that this work explores the profound loneliness and interpersonal brutality of mainstream success based on competition. This work dramatises and illustrates the futility and destructiveness of the neoliberal project. The image of the dog eating its own tail is a powerful symbol of inherent self-destructiveness of working in a capitalist system that requires constant generation of unethical and unsustainable profit.
