The Only Time I Feel Inside My Body Is When It Is Next To Yours is a soft sculpture of an elongated human with horns made of old bed sheets. They are an interactive piece created to be held and cuddled.

““He could never escape the jarring feeling that he and his body were still two separate entities with two separate operating systems. Maneuvering his body felt like driving with the emergency brake on, the low and constant growl of dragging a frame embedded with an unforgotten history of hate. He wished that he believed he would be better suited for a different body, but another body represented only another confinement, another set of parameters. What he craved was the kind of repair that would unite driver and car as one, make them synchronous. He wondered if this was even possible, or if everyone silently struggled with this duality.'What do you mean?''The only time I feel inside my body is when it is next to yours. Like right now.”Vivek Shraya, She of the Mountains”
