What, in your opinion, constitutes the aesthetic of the human body? Proportions? Muscles? Perhaps the skin?
After all, we’re talking about the image of the human body, the perception of one’s own body and of others’.

It provides an enormous range of possibilities, allowing us to move through space, to change our point of view, to perform a vast spectrum of manipulations and impacts on the surrounding world — which in turn lets us alter the course of events and even history.
