Unresolved Rage Proxy

Unresolved Rage Proxy is a squeezable sculpture for those pesky times when your feelings can’t be safely voiced. This portable, passive-aggressive outlet is perfect for anyone who struggles with questioning their own anger—or for anyone aspiring to a level of anger management so extreme, they don’t even realize they feel it. (Unresolved Rage Proxy is part of Anatomy of Rage, a constellation of unexpectedly playful projects by artist Risa Puno that help people explore rage in community with others—whether theirs is buried deep, boiling over, or just too much to carry alone.)

Risa Puno is an interactive artist who takes play seriously. She translates complex social topics into disarmingly fun experiences to help people connect more openly with one another. Her work often incorporates game-like elements that offer structure and permission for people to safely explore their limits, creating space for them to tap into genuine emotions. Puno’s practice is grounded in 'kapwa,' a pre-colonial Philippine ideology meaning "shared identity" or "shared humanity"—the belief that we navigate spaces as a community rather than alone.
