There is a proud stalker in pursuit of a perfect opposite. Between them lies the gray mass of a heavy ocean; matter expands and expunges little bubbles of wishes. Trying to bridge the gap will kill the joy, as well as the universe the stalker lives in. Grey equals rose. She is now pressed to gulp the not-red, not-white, rose wine.

Centripetal Run explores parallels between gray situations in personal lives, and electromagnetic radiation that forms the universe. The sculptural arrangement is a theatrical cosmology, and the performer unfolds, negotiates, and psychologically challenges its matter of factness.
