forces, golds and crimsons, forge the quantified coordinates of its

pallet of the male body: the sculptural body, the disguised body, the
body androgyne, the ravaged body, the crowned body, the prohibited
body, the body pleasure, the body object, the body softness, the
released body, the purified body”.
