More than 720 single drawing compose this video animation that is an exploration of time. Opposed to the mechanized time of production, there is the cyclical time of nature, that honors birth as much as it does growth, decay, dormancy and death, that become indistinguishable one another and deeply interconnected. Quietly dancing in a never-ending transformation, as opposed to booming in spectacle and performance.

This is symbolized by the merging of figurative and abstract, the constant circular movement of the elements of the video and the flowers.

The video references the ancient myth of Apollo and Daphne, under a different light. The god, mad at the Nymph of the woods for refusing his courtship, transforms her into a tree. He didn't realize that by doing so, she rejoined with the Earth, back into the cycle of death-life-death, immortal.
