Two-Dimensional Bodies
The vessels themselves were created by the hands of men, their bodies then painted flat on the three-dimensional objects; and only when the vessels were in use were these painted bodies activated and in motion themselves. Further, the dismemberment of the two-dimensional bodies was likely the fault of the human bodies and their actions. In their current fragmentary nature, it is only through imagination that their full bodies and environments can be envisioned.
