Deep rose-pink panniers arc outward from both sides of the waist, while a black top and narrow trousers keep the middle slim, and silver-gray skin and an orange spiral bun draw the eye upward. The whole body seems to make two requests at once: please notice me first, and please prepare enough room for my width. The first is readily applauded; the second requires actual negotiation.

The side supports make occupying space a clearly identifiable shape. It does not hide in bearing or tone, but extends materially to both sides. From here I am willing to discuss an encounter in a corridor: when both people want to retain their outlines, who turns first, who pauses, and who has the right to mention inconvenience without being resented for spoiling the mood?

There is still a gap between the legs, and the hands show before the front edges of the side supports. Lateral expansion has not locked the body into a complete hard shell; parts remain that can adjust. If I accept only the perfect width seen from the front and refuse to turn slightly to pass, I turn an active display into a system that demands continuous cooperation from those around it.

Those accustomed to giving way may also be asked to shrink forever. If every conspicuous body must first fold itself away, only images that already occupy the center will finally remain whole. I do not want consideration rewritten as unilateral retreat. What needs making public is who is frequently forced to change course, and whether the pause this time rotates among different people.

I let the rose-pink supports remain open, and keep the emerald-green shoe tips on the ground. They give me the possibility of turning, so I should retain the freedom to use it. A declaration need not be made by holding the maximum width motionlessly. Sometimes allowing an encounter actually to happen, without putting oneself away permanently, is already specific enough and difficult enough.
