Reborn, again and again. Basically after you see the lights again. After the darkness or something like that. Union Square is chosen because of the movement of the people. That stressed situation makes tense the moment where actions must be fast as the movement itself is in a way. A person appears, completely calm to be petrified for a while in a space over the popular location. She just appears and wait for something else. Waiting, appears the second person who decided to cover her with fabric as a mummy, transforming her into a statue mummified. This statue mummified stays there for a while making the contrast with everything. The second person appears again to throw in her purple paint, generating a reaction between the environment of New York City and the people. Waiting the sculpture, the seccond person appears for the last time to cut the fabric and to take it with him, making appears the person again as was in the beginning. The person just realize that she is in the same place for then leave the place. Now everything happening normally again. The purple reborn was made.
