Α video art piece with performance and art installation elements in public space. The need for extroversion of artistic creation intuitively led to an action with a participatory character. The world of the "inside" meets with that of the "outside", while the voices being heard ας a chaotic inner dialogue, become flesh and bone through human form sculptures.
