Here we go now. A group of us suckling in the golden glow of the Father’s full breasts. Suckling Corp. Fostering ingenuity, special brain, meat body, and a girl who changed the world. Luck be beautiful, rules be kind. Welcome thee to body time. We are CEO of skin mods basking in the comfort of a rotting corpse. To what do we owe the pleasure of docking into our fresh body lot. Experiencing waves of air vibrating against us like a metallic clock.

Masks of machine and organism, the figures are lucid and direct. Odors of a city, sunned skin, and an audible scent of a feral footing. Concepts of a desperate love triangle between a hovering self, primal desire, and a body as pure raw material; blue lit and ready for market.
