Referent
This piece draws inspiration from the book "Referent" by American author and screenwriter Ray Bradbury. Through the use of plasticity, movement, and form, we transform ourselves. We are complementary beings—perhaps a man and a woman, or maybe an asexual entity, or simply an essence. This essence assumes the form that the perceiver envisions. It does not require appearance, voice, shape, color, or scent.
"We are not like you. We are not human! This thought has given shape to all of you here on this planet. You adhere to the dictates of meaning. But we, we are something beyond meaning, and we do not need names..."
