(N)ever
The central element of (N)EVER is the first letter, the ‘N’, which moves like a gentle breath. Seven times per minute. Slow and deep. It is a breathing technique where you focus your attention on the present moment, like an enlightening rhythm for the mind.
This cadence, rising and fading, creates a spectacle where the word ‘EVER’ gradually transitions into ‘NEVER.’ The transition symbolizes most intentions, desires, wishes, or plans: just a breath away from never being fulfilled.
