Description:
This must have come with facing midlife. No matter how many medical innovations are made, our bodies age. I have worked with referrals to our precious body - also relating our flesh with the eating cultures. A year and a half ago a dear friend was diagnosed with cancer. It made me think how precious our every little body part is. There's only a thin line between us as living, breathing beings and the awaited or unexpected moment when we become flesh as materia. As life goes, my dear friend crossed that thin line.
