In slow motion a projection of a large human figure lights a violent blue flame. The camera zooms into the flame.
The large figure disappears in an instant. A young boy dressed in the same clothes returns in his place, These two figures imply two important moods (the optimism and the darkness) of the piece.

The implied narrative of this projection is a kind of ‘sculptural element’, evolving very slowly. It reveals changes in physical form as much as a psychological meaning. The slow motion video – necessary to show the virile blue flame – gives the standing human figure an unusual slowness, making a ‘heroic’ sculpture out of his presence.
