This work contains reflection about the mystery of a physical body – its senses, sensations and its inner existence, which often seems to be alien. It introduce ambiguities over the body, through which we understand it is us, but we cannot really recognize it.

It also carries a suggestion that the surface of the body can be as much extraordinary, unfamiliar, strange, and fragmented as the inside processes of a biological organism.

meal-ing with me
always in me
nothing between luce’s lips

but everything
