Dongnier touches the massive textile sphere in concert with the wind, returning to her homeland deep in the vast Inner Mongolian grasslands, at the junction of China, Mongolia, and Russia. Time is reduced to a minimalist dance: slow steps and micro-motions that resonate with the sun and moon, the landscape, animals, vegetation, and immaterial mediums, completing a ritual that delicately confirms existence and coexistence. The motion of perception slows down, and her nomadic history and spirit re-enter her present body, bidding farewell while setting out anew.
