A person’s outer appearance, which can be deliberately modified, is juxtaposed to their fragile, immutable inner beauty. A human being’s exterior is characterized by age, cultural influences, social background, facial expressions and many other factors, and people can change how they look, “beautify” themselves, to a certain extent. The interior, what’s hidden, what’s actually invisible, the finely layered structures—what a person cannot change and what their distinctiveness and individuality ultimately consists of—the human being who, despite the technologies, cannot be measured, copied, multiplied—is enduring.
