Like a fractal geometric structure, the work represents an unstable equilibrium of forces: on one hand, sound, and on the other, the movement of the body. Two trajectories that converge and diverge in time, with a constant, unyielding, and complementary force and energy.

Even though the choreography and score are defined, the creation is not free-flowing, and yet, what happens never repeats the same path; it is the small details that make substantial changes. In the end, things happen; what is born, dies; what is glimpsed, passes; and what will be, has not yet occurred.
