This collection brings forward the impalpable desire to refusal of "form". The invisible seeking flows amidst the visible mist, where no state is incessantly constant. One dissolves with another arises, more rapidly than flash could capture. Lingering questions on 'identity' and 'eternity' remain recurrent in the stillness chaos.
