Why Should Our Bodies End at the Skin is an experimental visual essay that explores the dissolution of corporeal boundaries in virtual spaces. Through the figure of a spectral body waltzing through abstract digital terrains, Leeza interrogates the fluidity of identity, presence, and embodiment. The ephemeral traces left by this movement evoke a liminal state, where subjectivity is continuously fragmented and remade. Drawing from Donna Haraway’s Cyborg Manifesto, the work destabilizes the binary between flesh and machine, probing how intimacy and connection might be reimagined in the digital realm. This visual essay positions the virtual as a site of both disintegration and potentiality, where corporeal limits are transgressed and reconfigured. In the delicate tension between form and formlessness, Leeza presents the dance as a metaphor for a body in flux, a vessel for longing, belonging, and transformation within the networked world.
