Program note
An entity fluctuates in a misty atmosphere inhabited by silence. Attacked three times, the entity endures a series of transformations caused by these encounters. Simultaneously, the mist clears on four occasions, revealing a background light that illuminates the surrounding scenery. In these moments, the entity perceives the distant fluctuations of an ocean breath.
Following a final transfiguration, the entity is carried toward the ocean—a constant, breathing presence inhabited by a current that warps immediate reality. Drawn into this oceanic flow, the entity experiences its internal temporality, traveling into a nucleus that eventually surrounds her, becoming omnipresent.
