A way of looking at intimacy through the connection of matter that unites all organic materials. Can organic intimacy exist?
A symbiotic view of life: we have never been individuals
One part splits into two, then four, then eight, but all remain connected to the same network. And so we end up wondering if that organism is one or many, until we just have to admit that, in some incredible way, it is both.
Symbiosis is becoming a core principle of contemporary biology, and it is replacing an essentialist conception of “individuality”
This new paradigm asks new questions and seeks new relationships among the different living entities on Earth and their way of living intimacy.
Thinking through “we”. Thanks to relationships, both organisms are able to live in places where neither of them could survive alone
The closer we can get to the natural world, the sooner we start to realize we are not separate. And that when we create, we are not just expressing our unique individuality, but our seamless connection to an infinite oneness.
I try to not look at perfect structures. Everything has already happened there and I won't find out anything.
I try to look at the imperfections. Where there is an imperfection there is a promise of change, there is a promise of history
