B-body

“My B-body” is a project I created during home quarantine. It is based on a poem I wrote about the relationship between my physical body and my consciousness. The text of the poem reads:

My B-body

It wants to run away while I’m sleeping

It wants to live a different life
It screams at me and won’t shut up

It wants to return to nature
