The body's perception transforms into a dynamic interplay of sticky ideologies, an action in motion. Its shapeshifting is mediated by the heated transmission of dopamine—melting like sugar, dissolving into the promised sweetness and adhesiveness. With the flick of a finger or two, we can gather and craft a lavish cotton candy in any form we desire. Like clouds of imagined creatures, they are a fusion of saccharine granules and salivating fantasies.
A fleeting excitement inscribes itself into visual narratives, pouring out every possible solution, flooding the surrounding screens. Different bodies become wetland sculptures of varied imaginations—testing their viscosity, the thickness and opulence of their coatings, or how swiftly they dissolve.
