In the performance, a combination of objects, music, scent, and movement engages the viewer's senses. Through the performer's movements, the elements of "awakening," "growth," "recovery," "confrontation," and "absorption" are interpreted.

At the end, the audience is invited to interact with the performers through plants and flowers distributed upon entry. The act of giving is viewed as a poetic gesture, and the performers' act of receiving marks the conclusion of the performance.
