About the Work
The various propositions in life are abstracted into the simplest operational logic, which is infinitely deduced, established, abandoned, and reestablished.
Amid the reversals and transformations, the impermanence of life has been repeatedly superimposed. It is about all that has ended, all that will begin, and all that is happening.

About the Work
This performance, based on a mathematical discovery "Möbius strip" and its meaning of infinite loop and eternity, tells the story of regret in a deeper and broader manner.


Divided into four sections, it expresses the most simple and plain sentiment in an unorthodox way of narration. By means of consciousness stream, and opposition and unity conveyed philosophically, it presents various interpersonal relationships and regrets behind them in the form of sections, scenes and thinking.
