This is how the body looks now: empty, estranged… its parts arguing their cases for emancipation, sovereignty from the system— each component demanding overt consent from all others before further engaging in vital collaborations. This is how the body looks now: formless, dissociated… the war for Independence and Recognition has left us devastated by the divisions of definition—disjointed structures of severed relations disavowed of the Whole.

This Is How The Body Looks
This is how the body looks now: empty, estranged… its parts arguing their cases for emancipation, sovereignty from the system— each component demanding overt consent from all others before further engaging in vital collaborations. This is how the body looks now: formless, dissociated… the war for Independence and Recognition has left us devastated by the divisions of definition—disjointed structures of severed relations disavowed of the Whole.
