Two periods of time relate to each other through a light-based duality: the past and the present.

The first light examines the abstraction of current skyscrapers, tall and narrow, with copper tubes, which contain and enclose inside them a heritage that is trapped within this barrier-generating perimeter. The perimeter light gradually peters out and a spark suddenly emerges from the inside.

A powerful light shines as though it were an explosion and represents the past. This blinding light only allows spectators to see the shadows of various materials in suspension that have been captured in the current urban fabric, such as a footprint of the past in the present. And the projected shadows, both of the tubes and the materials on the ground, strengthen the notion of the fabric and whatever is trapped there.
