What do you see, when you look at the world? At this infinite variety of objects. Colours, textures, weights, flavours...

What makes each person, animal, object, unique, special? There are around 90 chemical elements naturally found on this planet. But each one - hydrogen, oxygen, or carbon, is just a construct...

early rough sketch of component parts to be deconstructed

We started with a black and white deconstructed ice cream truck, as you do. Representing the notion that every object when broken down is made from the same constituent parts. Ice cream felt like a fun choice as far as metaphors go, playing on the idea of different flavours. From the ice cream server, to the sauce dispenser and everything in between, this scene works to connect the visuals to the poem.

A tiny, shivering mass of the same protons, neutrons, and electrons, found in any other. Same ingredients, different recipe. We are not, essentially, our constituent parts. We are the knowledge that unites them.
