The artist attempts to explain and visualize the phenomena occurring inside the black hole. Familiar with recent discoveries in the field of astronomy and physics, she tries to present how the objects can affect human consciousness. The work refers to the limits of human cognition: the impossibility of imagining more dimensions than we know from everyday experience. The construction as a variation on the Möbius strip gives the possibility of touching infinity and transmits the observer into another reality with which he or she can interact.
