This piece highlights the connections and interdependencies between seemingly autonomous bodies; it emphasizes the intersections between human beings and objects. It is given deliberate "imporper" functions to dissociate their assumed meaning from the prevalent system they function in. This exposure demarcates how intersecting bodies encounter, merge, impact, and even create one another in an ongoing process of metamorphosis. The richness of the unlikely interaction between bodies inverses habitual significatio, changes perception of predetwemined roles and stabalizes humancentric hierachies. By questionisn the normativity of utilitarian meanings and functions assigned to such bodies, the piece challenges the dominant logis of the "origin", the "absolute," and "nature." It also posts alternative ways of coexistencec. - Al Mahdi
