Description

Invasion: Host Identified captures the precise moment something alien recognizes compatibility.

The figure appears partially human, partially organism—its head swollen with foreign awareness, its lower form trailing nerve-like tendrils that suggest internal integration rather than movement. This is not a creature walking into the world. This is a consciousness settling in.

The eyes are wide and displaced, signaling loss of autonomy. The mouth hangs open—not screaming, but accepting. The dangling forms beneath the head resemble exposed neural conduits, as if the body has been opened and rewired from within.

This Artifact is about selection.
Not everyone is taken.
Not everyone survives awareness.

The distressing marks across the garment are intentional—evidence of interference, erosion, and the early stages of overwrite.

No reproductions exist. The image cannot be repeated. This is the only instance where the host was identified this way.
