Centering the non-dual as a point of creative investigation, and in honour of the spirit of collaboration where one flows into the other and distinctions are blurred, the Oroborous presents rich symbolism as the merging of two points (duality) - beginnings and endings, destruction and renewal, life and death - into a seamless infinite cycle (non-duality). Chosen accompaniment for this performance reflects the inspiration of the Ouroboros as well ; the long lace stitched with silver squares and circles is reminiscent of the sinuous form of a snake.
The presence of a recurring rattling sound, hidden within the ambient ebb and flow, serendipitously conjures an image of a snake slithering through the space in Robin's sound-scape as well. The idea of reflection, already present in the silver scales of the performance object, is mirrored onto the floor through reflective shapes that mimic and activate the mosaic tiles. In doing so, the boundaries of the above and the below become blurred and the performance is extended into the ground itself.
