Finally: “Better.” The word suggests teleology—a forward motion toward improvement. Kapoor interrogates that optimism. “Better” in her work is not a platitude but a bargaining term. It sits on a spectrum between aspiration and surveillance: we are always promised better outcomes if we adjust our bodies, habits, algorithms, or appetites. Her art asks what we sacrifice on the altar of improvement. Is “better” an individual fix, a social restructuring, or an aesthetic refinement? Kapoor’s answer is both stubborn and humane: better is a practice, a rehearsal, a continuous return to the question rather than the answer.
