In Donna Haraway’s Staying with the trouble, the concept that we exist as a whole as the world is explored. Instead of existing “Not in the world, but of the world”. To my understanding she is saying that our personal microcosm is part of the larger existence of the world (macrocosm).
“Natures, cultures, subjects, and objects do not pre-exist their intertwined worldings”.
I cannot be what I pictured for myself is my response to Tentacular Thinking. At first glance the imagery is of some otherworldly, tentacled being but it is more of a self-portrait of my warped self-perception.
