Here, the body is like a vast terrain of land, geology, and topography. I attempt to place some familiar everyday objects onto this bodily landscape, observing how the body searches for balance under the different weights of daily objects.

When familiar objects are simultaneously placed together with another familiar object upon the body, acting and operating at the same time, a sense of alienation toward all of these familiar objects gradually emerges from the body. This alienation is an emotion that exists in opposition to knowledge and experience.

I begin to question whether the collective turn of this feeling of alienation might affect native emotional experiences. When familiar perceptual structures begin to shift, is the body also reorganizing the distances and boundaries between humans, environments, objects, and species?

From this point, I also begin to consider how the body reinterprets the geology, topography, and nature within localization, and how it reconsiders the territorial relations between the local, the foreign, and other species.

These may also constitute a reterritorialization of bodily emotions.
