Forever A Violent Man is a movement piece inspired by Dellinger, a minor character from Eiichiro Oda's One Piece manga who was first introduced in 2015. The performer is almost like a savage predator to the contrast of his infant-like, eccentric costume.
Dellinger in the manga is the youngest ever character to join a villainous pirate crew- being as young as one year old. He eventually turned very violent- almost as if he was not given any other choice. Despite his nature, he appears very feminine by walking on high heels- one that is considerably very woman-like.
The movement-based piece is a response to this character with movements that are also accompanied by screeching and coughing sound. It reeks desperation and clearly, violence that might have been a natural response from the real-life figure of the performer behind the character he is playing.
