=='Poppy Skins'==
Poppy Skins are a continuation of the theme of digital detritus arising from rampant avatar addiction. These skins are a combination of digital image seen through AR and physical implants; chemical nano-factories that deposit synthesised opiates through dermal contacts.
Poppy Skin junkies combine their implants and sync their skins for maximum intimacy.
Or live as withdrawn loners; hiding inside the changing prismatic fragmented holo-skins.
Ankou:- The solitary life of isolation and obsession.
Plasmatikuus:- The union of twin addictions combined in-sync.
Envelopment AR avatars with synthesised diamorphine transmitters.
So precious even in a broken form; addicts collect fragments like fragile layers of skin.
Pleasure in waves of broken glass, laced with opium.

'Poppy skin petals
Seasons worn in broken glass
Transdermal patch joy.'
