- Introduction
Step into a dialogue with yourself - unscripted as the night breeze, candid as an old friend.
Inviting you into a quiet and delicate conversation with yourself -- to participate or simply observe,the choice is yours.
In this era of overwhelming information, we often focus on the distant future but seldom observe our own thoughts. Using the metaphor of dripping toothpaste foam during brushing, this work transforms fleeting inner feelings into tangible actions. Under the guide's direction, the audience will enter a tranquil area within the dental clinic. As participants, they will engage in gentle interactions—creating toothpaste foam, one-on-one conversations, listening, and more.
This is an inward journey, hoping we can open up together and wait for the wind to rise. Whether the waters are "calm" or "stormy" we can start from the real experiences of life and collectively arrive at a place of comfort.
