The intention of the observer
can m e l t it, if conditions are too wrong.
The shaped glass figure is fragile,
but the observer can see a new world
twisted
turned
colored
refracted
through
the
body
of
the
glass

Not distorted

Not beautiful

Not changed
(for it is the same world seen)
It is undefined.
