Ah yes, the age old debate nudity vs naked. Nude is just the absence of clothing, while Nakedness is more associated with the feeling of shame or perhaps a lack of confidence, or "improperness" of the disrobed human form.

Fundamentally, a body is just a body. I have always been far more interested in the grey matter between someone's ears, inside of their skull. Intellectual pursuits, I find are far more gratifying.

Sadly, these days, owing to advertising, industries that prey upon the body (both male and female) as an object of desire, even the non-naked, non-erotic depictions are being seen increasingly as being sexualised.

Regarding the "The Shining Path" - I do not have the video file for it in my archive, and sadly, it, and two other pieces that made up my final body of work. I would like desperately to revisit them, but they may be lost to multiple moves of hard drive and archives.
