A video loop depicts tropical plants growing in an accelerated pace, spiraling upwards as they grow. This part of the video installation echoes fifty drawings copied from Darwin's The Power of Movement in Plants, in which maps of their movements are depicted. Just before the video loops, three sentences appear on it as affirmations and questions about the image itself.
Framing the video, two ceriman plants - Monstera Deliciosa - hang from the roof; each one has a wire with a plummet suspended from their bottom. The plummet is pointing to the center of an industrial motor in motion.
