In the maker’s own words
The armor that saves you from shattering also fuses you to the bike. I'm watching the bind: a structure built to hold, that becomes the thing holding you in place. The security that was supposed to be load-bearing turns into load itself. Not because you built it wrong, but because anything that stands long enough starts to weigh. What I'm sensing: you're asking whether the bind is *in* the thing, or whether it's in trying to carry it alone, forever, without ever setting it down to rest.What they set out to make · 5 August 2026
