Transience is the main object of my accounts. Lifetime are passed and marked on each side of the body just as a tree wearing its rings years. The human body stories is unearthed as an ornament.
People talking about their looks inside as if they had nothing to hide.
What we do to operate it, is part of what makes us exist while becoming aesthetic.
A white heart, a lung destroyed, a blackened spine, a brain from which rises a plant, are just a few ways of stories, each with its own story.
We look indoors or outdoors? Do we want to show ourselves like how we are really?
