The light that emerges from the gloom bewitches. The radiance, reflected and filtered by the dark, redefines the contours of nature revealing it as an enchanted apparition. Glacial colours emerge and intensify reinforcing the vegetation, which is filled with a new and delicate essence; energetic and vulnerable at the same time. From buds as if of glass, sprout leaves, petals and branches.

An intense and hypnotic voice evokes the light of the stars with an empathetic mantra that penetrates the cosmos. The atmosphere is unreal and electrifying, the rhythm in crescendo. Sparks of violet turn to electric blue, move through indigo to turquoise and finally morph into a golden yellow, whilst white becomes increasingly blinding. Moonlight, vibrating with life, surrounds, caresses and envelops forms hiding nothing. Finally, the dense sky evaporates and a beating of wings intimate a re-awakening. The night dazzles with a song of joy.

Through different sensibilities Dos Floris and Nat Wilms together create a work that plays on their combined fascination for theroem and the potentialities of light. The musician, Dos Floris takes inspiration from Einstein's Theory of General Relativity, whereby the sun creates gravity by bending space and time around it. The artist, Nat Wilms achieves a poetic result due to her emphasis on colours with shorter wavelengths but a higher frequency thereby translating the laws of refraction and optical spectrum into an intuitive and poetic dimension.
