We Were Always More Than One Body

I wanted to show the exact instant a tool reveals itself as a limb — the hand and the prism recursing into each other until the idea of “holder” and “held” collapses. I chose a paradox prism nested in a palm, with a Möbius scar-band where pre-mark, fresh cut, and healed keloid overwrite each other in the same visible strip, so the timeline folds like skin. Here I show reflexes becoming optics: lattice-firing, caustic shadows, and empathy filaments that tighten into decision. Stand close — the exhilaration is in realizing the boundary never existed, and the vertigo is realizing it worked perfectly before you noticed.
