**The Reflex Was Always Mechanical, The Limb Always Digital**

I wanted to stage the instant recognition that our devices are not held but inhabited—so I split face, hand, and phone into separate shards and bound them with cold, razor-edged prisms that refract impossible, rust-warm geometries. I chose bone-white space to feel clinical, then bled terracotta and aged gold through the prisms so the warmth arrives only as a refraction of the cold. Here I show one overlapping scar-window where residue, action, and aftermath overwrite each other, so the viewer feels ecstatic vertigo as the boundary dissolves and a new capability clicks into place.
