• I am dressed.
  I am a layer.
  I am a collage.
  I am an object.
  I am a surface.
  I am surrounded by other objects and surfaces.
  When I sit on a chair, who is wearing whom?
  When I wear a friend's sweater
  do I become a version of them?
  I want to spend a day dressed in black being someone's shadow.
