parasite

Description

A parasite is a remarkable organism that validates its existence only by inhabiting another’s body. It masquerades as a benevolent symbiont while systematically exploiting every vitality of its host. Slipping past the cages of immunity, it luxuriates unseen in the dark recesses, a perfect embodiment of the modern consumer’s obsession with freebies. Once discovered, it becomes public enemy number one, yet its greatest survival tactic is to remain inconspicuous. A classic virtuoso that reveals the ironic truth that balance often rests upon imbalance.
