Melting Forms is an installation performance that explores the alchemical phenomenon of transforming the element of water into different states - solid, gaseous and liquid -, and the alchemical process of medicinal herbs and flowers, which are absorbed into the water as infusions or tisane, and then transformed into ice or steam.
The transmutation of energy is present in the matter as well as in the state of the room, transiting a wide range of intensities. The performance activates the audience and the audience activates the performance.
