As the sonic landscapes ebb and flow, the figure navigates a metaphorical journey, encountering various obstacles that mirror the societal structures stifling progress. Symbolic gestures represent the imposition of outdated ideologies, while the forced attrition by weight serves as a metaphor for the burdens carried by individuals in the pursuit of change. Throughout the performance, the dichotomy between compassion and brutality becomes increasingly pronounced. The figure, fuelled by a desperate yearning for societal evolution, enacts short, intense actions that blur the line between pain and transformation.
