The Body and the Void

Uses the body’s boundary as a philosophical riddle, asking whether self and other are separate entities or mutually created at the edge of perception and touch.

embodiment

Who are you?
One behind the wall.

A hologram so vivid
it returns my touch.

The limit of the map
that is my body.

What is the vessel that contains you?
That separates you from the rest.

The line between not knowing
and experience.

The wall between the question
and the answer.

Which one are you?
And then am I the other?

Or are we
both and neither
all at once?
