Plasticity explores transformation and the ability to adapt. Plasticity demands permanence. Once a plastic water bottle is made, it exists forever. Animals that fall from endangered to extinct can never return. Andromida will collide with the Milky Way and become an intergalactic diaspora of starlight. What are the parts of you that have changed for good? For the better? How much can you change and still be you? How far can you bend without breaking?
