For Kaito Itsuki, disguise is a form of survival

Go in search of the self while maintaining the animal side that still resists social domestication. In the title, the term "quadruped" refers to animals that maintain a four-legged posture and movement, while "masking" refers to the act of concealment and disguise through the use of masks. Itsuki explores the themes of personal identity formation and the search for individuality, as well as the attempt to assimilate into social norms. The questions she attempts to answer are profound: How much of the self is eroded or sacrificed in creating connections with others? How can we satisfy the desire to develop our sociality, while maintaining individual autonomy and a sense of self? In Itsuki's paradoxical mythology, the mythical beast wears a human mask, a disguise that facilitates the exploration of its place within society and the boundaries between self and other.
