Molded

Mannequins are almost immutable, yet flexible; lifeless, yet lifelike; full of expression, yet sometimes faceless. They are machines of contradiction. They stand witness to a lot of events beyond the windows they are displayed. They are used for simulation, and yes, sometimes, stimulation. They stand the test of time, and though they are designed to fail, they pass with flying colors. There is a lot to be learned from them.
