Made up of a composition of vertebrae, disks, joints, soft tissues, nerves and your spinal cord – the backbone serves as a central, internal structure of strength that binds and connects things together, embodying our internal worlds and expanded senses of function and feeling. The metaphorical meaning is similar to the figurative translation of the word, سند in Arabic, which refers to someone who has your back. Through the interrogation of the word, backbone explores the complexities and fragilities of these structures which at times can be exposed, excavated or elusive.
