It was black at first. Just like adeath of tree. And I was coveres (dressed) in white, Just like when I was born, By the vastness (eternity) of the beach
The purity of my being wxperienced the blood of the earth, And then, I was green all over while released of all boundaries. In the cover, I put on my veil since we have always been together, ever since I was 9. smetimes out of divine love and sometimes out of hatred. Now I only enjoy it's purity, and it plainness, It's whiteness and i offer all of this to the endless greatness. I have used natural materials from the specifiv sites to perform this pice in different environments. Also my friends help me to record these performancese every time

It is an interesting dichotomy to try and make something beatuiful out of polluted materials that have attractive characteristics, like the light shining through a mass of these clear plastic bottles. By attracting an audience we hope to make them aware of its very physical presence and introduce them to the danders.
