an encounter between two, a hug, the feeling of the other, communication without words, the feeling of time immersed in a world created between two. a mutual support. a time that expands and stops as if it would never end. a transformation, a shift. parts begin to fall, others to hold. that instant is forgotten and differences come to light; opposite poles, fragility and strength; the letting go and the desire for control. balance and instability. the true human nature.
