The installation consists of eleven objects (human figures) in various stages of robustness, vulnerability and fragility. They are positioned in a wooden base on seventy km of different collections of threads from which they rise or disappear. The number eleven has a relationship with infinity, the repetition of one (a new beginning), whereas seventy km threads represents the global average life expectancy of seventy years. The installation assumes that we are very aware of our transience, our vulnerability and fragility. The Sun can help us get beyond our reach of sensory thinking and tries to convince us in awareness of eternity. It opens the door to free consciousness.
