The body already knows.
The body records everything.
The body is an archive. A filter.
A mirror of the subconscious.
Nothing exists without a body to experience existence with.
 
"In "To be", the model had come straight from work. For a while, there was nothing she needed to do and nowhere she needed to be. I was fascinated by that moment of release, when a person's body slowly lets go of the day, and a person returns to being themselves."
