Discovered in 2023 during the excavation of the California College of the Arts Oakland campus this relic was unburied from below the Oliver Art Center. Through complex technological scientific experiments it was discovered this vessel has particular powers that can only be explained by magic. In one experiment it was discovered that the act of covering the eyes on the vessel sent out positive neurological signals to people all over the world. Scientists were unsure at first what these signals were or why they were being sent. But after further scientific study a connection was made, all the people receiving these positive signals from the vessel were encountering negative feelings around body image. This was no surprise considering few women possess the idealized body type portrayed by American media and many women (up to 91%)* are unhappy with their bodies and resort to actions to change themselves. When covering one or more eyes on the Bodying vessel, telepathic signals are sent out to someone anywhere in the world experiencing body negativity; these signals are GUARANTEED to immediately stop these negative thoughts and replace them with positivity and acceptance. It is calculated that over 500,000 positive signals have been sent out in the past year since its discovery. More and more scientists have become astounded by the power of this vessel. One group is looking to deconstruct it to better understand how it may function so they can use its powers in future technologies. Other scientists created robots to automatically cover the eyes on the vessels to maximize the amount of positive signals going out. These responses have caused much controversy among the public; one group arguing that we cannot keep covering the eyes of the vessel because this does not solve the issues around what causes body image negativity and is only fixing the damage that has already been done and therefore cannot be the only solution. The unexplainable powers of this vessel still hold true today and its creation is still a mystery, however, this vessel sheds light on the social issues surrounding body image which is perhaps its only purpose.
