The piece explores the relationship between man and machine, with the awareness that in nature nothing is created and nothing is destroyed, but that everything is transformed. In the piece, bodies become machines. They move travelling daily on the highways, getting dressed, washing, burning fat, dissipating Energy and not being able to give up “excess”.

Machines influence us, compete with us, and when we consume them, they replace our body and mental organs, modeling against our freedom as human beings the very essence of our personality.
