This work is about reflecting veiled relationships. Relationships to the environment such as building systems that appear to be invisible such as heating and cooling within a building, relationships with each other for those who are here or no longer with us, and a relationship with yourself such as the importance of your own visibility. The mirrored reflection that this material offers can be understood in a multitude of ways but it's main intent is to bring in light and an understanding on the precariousness of suggested weightlessness in your environment. This underscores how open spaces can be utilized to bring greater understanding to your position within it. Kîhtwâm (Again).
