this piece was constructed from notes people left at the BODIES launch party. some are where we feel at home in our body, some are thing we like about our body, some are how connected we feel to our body. all are words. because it’s the words that connect us. it’s your words that connect us. you gave us your words and here we give them back to you. separately your words mean something. together, they mean something else.
creativity. connection. collaboration.
do you feel connected to your body?
Sometimes, depends on my mood
Yes, sometimes
I think so! We get along.
Oh yah!
Yes <3
Yes, but my knees hurt
Yes! It is a journey though, but our body us. the one thing we
have unconditionally, so to be connected is to live!
I FEEL LIKE I’M RENTING IT
YES !!
Yes and no, it fluctuates
Yes but almost too connected
DANCING/ SWEATY. NO MAKEUP LEFT.
Now I do
The last time I felt connected to my body, I was on shrooms.
When I’m hugging my friends,
creating something
or laughing I am most connected to myself
When I take time for myself I do
I do, but that is something I am in the process of making stronger
Not particularly
No – I have derealisation
Yes and no.
I feel awkward yet traditionally pretty in dresses.
But always confident
Getting there
YES<3
I’m learning to be by withholding expectations
At times when I’m meditating / moving
I’m trying. I respect my body!
Yes, but sometimes that’s the hardest part
Depends where I am in my menstrual cycle
