"FLOATING"
Six lifebuoys are floating on the water at the mercy of the waves.
One normal buoy is neighbouring with five other buoys whose shapes are changing: the signs of the five major religions in the world become integrated in them, thus transforming their volume and conferring obvious symbolics on them.
Moved by the currents and continuously changing their positions do these buoys which symbolize christianism, islam, judaism, buddhism, hinduism and agnosticism stand each one for an individual lifebuoy providing salvation and at which one can desperately cling to or on the contrary, are they residual signs coming again up to the surface from sunken wrecks and obsolete vessels thrown into the recurrent storm of beliefs and non-beliefs which regularly flood our world?
