PART1：MECHANISATION
Language and symbols become automated, systematised; the body functions as a node within a flow. Movements remain calm and repetitive, materials (felt, powder, acrylic) signify a structured existence. Lights and sound emphasise a mechanical, instrumental state. Independent thought and creativity still remain compressed within procedural logic.
PART2：DISINTEGRATION
The language-system begins to crack. Movements shift from precision to rupture, tearing, scatter; canvas splits, powder drifts, textual fragments flicker. The environment grows unstable, sounds fragment, symbols lose fixed meaning. The body becomes the medium of the dissolution process, the tension of the system exposed.
PART3：EMERGENCE OF THE UNCONSCIOUS / REGENERATION
With the collapse of language and symbolic, the body, perception, material fabricate a new order. Movements flow organically; material merges with the body, sound turns to heartbeat, breath, abrasion. Light turns warm, space opens. Subjectivity regenerates beyond the language-frame, no longer driven by symbolism but returning to direct experience of “being”.
