For all its complexity, the human body has a true and natural proportion. However, the specific reason for how a body achieves this grace and harmony is not something many can easily, or precisely, describe with language. Likewise, when a body has disproportion — through the distortion or misplacement of any part — often it is perceived merely by the sense that “something isn’t right.” You know it, but you cannot define or explain it. In either case, the bridge between knowing, understanding and communicating about the body is language.
