It’s flashing on and off and when it’s on you see more of your face in the reflection. You’re focusing your eyes on the strobing face image and the moving background is a dynamic blur. It’s closer than usual to be looking at your own surface and there are tiny spots of perspiration glistening at your pores. There are semi-translucent hairs in tight semi-circular curves across your cheeks and then occasionally a coarser hair in a looser arc. There are sun-spots in disc-shaped blotches where the skin bulges out slightly. There are intersecting diagonals finely folded into the skin surrounding your eyes. You’re seeing it all really close and you’re starting thinking about yourself as flesh. You’re imagining the being inside of it as a kind of passage. It’s still strobing on and off - the image - and on the surface there’s all the details and degradations that suggest the kind of passage over time. You’re recognizing the body and the passage of the body and your passage through the body. You’re thinking about material presence and occupying flesh. You’re thinking about those moments when you see your shadow accidentally and how there’s a stronger sense of your presence than when you’re seeing your own reflection in fine detail..."
