The moment we meet and touch another person, the body becomes more than a sensory instrument,
it turns into a field of exchange, releasing its own substances while absorbing those of another.

Hormones such as dopamine, oxytocin, and cortisol, along with sweat, scent, breath, and body heat, become evidence of connection and traces of relationship, 
sometimes leaving behind physiological imbalance or emotional residue.

We respond to touch, voice, scent, and gaze.
The brain and body ignite a chemical reaction that brings pleasure and intimacy,
yet also opens a passage through which our substances transfer outward or receive those of others.

In every act of contact, something moves
warmth, emotion, a microscopic organism,
or something that exists quietly in between.
