Being young is like a superpower, an energy that vibrates between body and soul, an endless desire to learn it all. A journey of self-love. However, humans tend to automatically destroy their own creations by sabotaging themselves so they can rise again from their ashes. I metaphorically use the fact of being young and beautiful to create the contradiction where we destroy our own portraits, as Dorian Gray did with his. I feel like after the pandemic, we've become addicted to our phones admiring our own reflections, turning it into a narcissistic habit.

We seek the source of social media immortality by emphasising our outward appearance instead of focusing on our inner growth and our closed ones. The exploration of the piece is based on how the music moves the body of the dancers and makes it vibrate on a large space. What echo leaves in the space and inside of them that makes them shape their bodies.
