In Nikolai Gogol's work 'The Nose', it symbolizes desire.

This nose walks around pretending to be a human, posing as a high official. This person's nose behaves to discredit even the personality system to which it belonged.

This nose represents the owner's career-oriented desire.
The nose is the only protruding part of the face. This characteristic symbolizes people's desire to stand out.

I tried to recreate this work through a video, which depicts people who are thoroughly obsessed with material and power, who are distracted by superficial and trivial matters to the point of laughing, and who miss the really important things.
