"I suppose I could be like a pair jeans, painstakingly cut, dyed, stretched, and sewn, cut and sewn some more. Out of this process are a beautiful pair of jeans. Look at me, folded on the table. A price on my pocket, that is my design. I am bought, and taken into the real world. It will be many years till I am perfect for my owner. I become worn, torn, tattered. I have severed edges and holes, strings hang off me. I start to look at benches differently. I don't want to be worn but I don't want to be thrown away"
