Polymerous

Airless.

They are encompassed in the whole, without a moment of breath. Despite their human-hard-soft-wired nature, their physical mass, relative to other flesh forms, produces a unique physical state. Their touch unfolds an endless process of friction, as if they are one.

Caught in a looping paradox of desire and fear, their whole reaches out to what keeps them inside. Even once they’re freed from this polymerous relation–the illusion will keep reaching for them. But what do you see from the outside? Something is still being kept out of view.
