No, I don’t believe it.
How can you think that redefining the body can become something routine, like going to buy bread every day?
Every need of yours, even the most common, is a challenge of complexity.
Like every desire.
Your wish.
I don’t presume to understand you in the time span of a visit but to start a project together.
