Exhibition Statement
In fact that, most of us were regressing prematurely.
#IA%@324, with two family members afflicted by dementia, was encoded into another spatial fluid. It too experienced memory loss, gradually and unwittingly accepting its compromised position in Earthly life. A guardian of consciousness, the cerebral priest, sampled and reset the damaged portions as the first sequence.
Crawling backward leading one to contemplate whether this disorderly and seemingly purposeless decline is, in truth, a protective adaptation for the survival of a species – an intricacy waiting for the emergence of transformative variations.
