In the 5th century BC, Hippocrates first introduced the term "hysteria" in his "Oath." He believed that the female uterus wandered throughout the body and needed to be reset using fragrances or medications. Plato also agreed with this viewpoint and added that women experienced anxiety and trembling due to the displacement of the uterus. The floating and shifting uterus is like an elusive prey in a dense forest. Throughout its long history, it has been patiently waiting to be lured, captured, trained, or hunted down. In this hunting game, I contemplate who the hunter is, who the conspirator is, within this work.
