Welcome to the garden.

In between the blades of grass you will find a mirror, or perhaps a portal. Step through with open
eyes and allow your gaze to be reflected back at you. In this garden, animal forms roam and
make their home. They hunt each other, eat each other, and care for each other. Their bodies
defy taxonomy and their behaviors defy hierarchy. With disarticulated hands they form the
artifacts through which we understand them.

They are created not through systemic production, but rather spring forth as static snapshots of
magical expulsions. Bodies and words twitch off the tapestry, the page. Movement and entropy
hold hands and weave between the trees, the flags.

Which forms are familiar? Which are alien? Do you see me? Do you see yourself? You are a
guest in this queer magic world.

Take care not to trample the flowers.
