The participant wears a garment embedded with bend sensors around different parts of the arm. Each movement generates corresponding lines on the screen and sounds, with the seemingly simple aim of bringing the lines into a single alignment.

Yet the body does not move in isolated parts. Adjusting one joint inevitably affects another, making perfect alignment extremely difficult, perhaps even impossible. The participant must move slowly and delicately, continuously negotiating between different parts of the body.

Rather than focusing on whether alignment is achieved, the work values the process of trying. It reflects on community as a continuous effort to listen, adjust, and remain together despite our differences.
