"Everything around us has a shape, and if we look closely, most things consist of geometric figures. Even human bodies and their movements can be broken down into geometric shapes." I have always been fascinated by contemporary choreography, as it frequently inspires my work. This film delves into the geometry of movement, with a poetic precision. In a minimalist space, dancers' fluid motions mirror hands shaping strings, revealing a striking symmetry between motion and the architectural design of H A R R I’s garments. Additionally, Pedro's sculpture featuring meta; poles and variation of wheels, with its interlocking forms, ties these shapes into a unified whole, forming a triangle, further emphasizing the connection between body, art, and design. Since hands are fundamental to the human body, their involvement has played a role in advancing the field of geometry as a science. Therefore, when hands manipulate strings to create shapes in the film, it mirrors the essence of human anatomy.
