Time drives the work. Memory, form, color, living beings, human nature’s labyrinths, and our perception of time itself will, over time, gradually accumulate, quietly shift, or fade away. The world is fragments in motion from being to nothingness. The myriad things of life will settle into a serene balance within time. Present these changes through bodily language.
