This creature was transformed by a Jiin into a mutant being. Jack utilized SculptGL to combine the mesh of a lion cub, a dolphin, a wolf, and an eagle. This creation was part of the Prototype Camp at FACT Liverpool in October 2017. The young people were responding to the Designing Desire exhibition and the installation 'She Who Sees the Unknown', which featured a reading room showcasing images and text from Middle Eastern mythologies surrounding Jiin's and hybrid animals. Aeisheh Ghediseh, the jinniya on whom Allahyari's work for Designing Desire is centered, is said to create an opening in the male body as a sexual and erotic way to transform him into another being, forcing him to act as a conduit between worlds. When she possesses a man, she does not fully take over the new host but opens him up to a storm of incoming jnun and jinns and sorcerous particles of all kinds; making the man a gateway for new demons and sweeping cosmic data. This is why she is feared. And she never leaves — she always resides within the man to ensure his total openness, which is not always pleasant. FACT's Learning Programme explores the concept of the art-tech center as an expanded classroom for lifelong learning, a space for critical dialogues, artistic experiences, and social dreaming.
