A circle has no direction, no scale, only a center.
It is a complex geometric form, which is infinite like the void above. A void of existence. With no distance, no end. A constant, like the constant character of a circle.
In this expanding void, exists centers, which create subjects for other centers. One center defines another, and at the same time defines a new one. All this occurs very fast, and at the same time as it was not existing. It is a combination of silence and speed, power and gravity, distance and movement, like an attraction towards the endless dark. It exists far away, and yet so close.
