A solitary man peers into the world, leaning over a window sill to look within himself. The chaos proliferating from megacities spreads colors, sounds, and the textures of metal into the stormy imagination of our human character. Technology gives rise to fruits of pliers, spoons, and chains. The once-living tree feeds the air with rust. Only in wooden boxes hidden among scribbles and layers of newspaper do traces of human feelings remain. The man sees metal, but still feels wood. The spectacle creates powerful metaphors through circus skills, dance, and theatrical scenes that revolve around a man who explores himself in order to question the outside world.
