So I Wrap Myself (I)

Self-portrait part of 'Whelmed, Wet', a series exploring the sublime of the human experience.

“Time flies like an arrow. Fruit flies like a banana. I want to be wrapped in a thousand arms and smell the skin and the sweat and the breath and not worry about whose arm I'm biting to make way for the light to get in. Do you know what it's like to constantly feel everything there ever was and absolutely nothing at all?”
