Encapsulate
The modern world has badly taught us the idea of discarding, that there are things that can be thrown away, kicked off, put away to some other place. But where is that other place? and what are those things that are permanently banned from our existence here and that must be sent there? There is no place other than this earth where to send things to. Even outer space sends our trash back into orbit. The idea of something that is undesired that cannot be reintegrated to the whole, is quite foreign. Naturally there are almost none, and artificially, we've created many. I can think of nuclear waste for example. It can't be dumped anywhere, thrown into some canyon or some ocean. It must be encapsulated in a way that it is kept isolated from the outside, unlike natural "waste" that is simply composted and returns to being part of everything.
In the same manner we are invited by today's nawal to learn from this natural concept of encapsulation. Biology, the bodies, are wise in knowing to also encapsulate something that is foreign and cannot be integrated to the whole. The misunderstood, foreign, toxic, harmful, is gathered together and surrounded by a layer that separates it from the rest. The difference from the take out the trash concept is that what is truly negative, stays inside.
