Small intestine, 2023

Deep neural forests and conductive connective tissues, delicate layers of skin and wrinkled outlets of intestinal walls. Vessels for millions upon millions of bacterial cultures. A world in which atoms combine to form molecules, diffusing through cellular membranes and milieus according to the laws of concentration, always striving for equilibrium. In which neurones generate electrical signals, speak the language of chemical messengers, make sparks cross the gap between synapses. In which biochemical messengers, hormones, act like tides to move us.

Little inlets. A collection of potential openings; a small crack, an injury. The result of discharging energy; the rupture of a previously protective shell. A sudden access, a beginning of relaxation or potentially the formation of a weak point. A place of seepage, of incipient departure, of boundary crossing. An unexpected access. A thread end from the hem of an inexplicable fabric. A first fixed star on a new astrological map. A beginning of a journey into the interior of a matter.

How does the singular body behave in relation to the collective? How does it balance openness toward others against the risk of
violation?
