A room that was previously host to the fusing of toxic plastics is now the site for a meeting between two organic substances. Chosen for their contrasting tastes, they begin as separate masses yet one encroaches on the other, threatening its steady circular boundary. Each substance is in continual flux: one thinning as it spreads and the other lightening with the sun; one absorbing light and the other reflecting it back.
