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
My body doesn’t belong to me

It wants to bend the other way
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
