At the core of "Worn Wires and Wrinkles" is the idea that even machines, once believed to be timeless, aren't immune to the effects of aging. The cyborgs in the series are caught between their decaying human side and their supposedly enduring machine parts, yet as time passes, rust, frayed circuits, and malfunctioning bodies create a surreal contrast - machines built to last are breaking down, sometimes faster than their organic components.
