"This piece is exploring the relationship between desire and objectification. The title comes from the idea of objecting to being objectified. For me it brings up more questions than statements of fact. When does desire become problematic? Is the object of desire , be it a person or thing, truly what we think it is, or are we blinded by projections and needs? Does desire bring out the best or worst in us and how do we navigate this? I guess we all need to figure this out for ourselves."
