From the colors of stones laid out on the central piece, an oracular poem is generated through the use of the color table developed by Charles Webster Leadbeater (1854-1934). Leadbeater was a member of the Theosophical Society and linked each color to a particular feeling. The stones that led to the English poem were collected in the Mediterranean Sea, the border between Europe and Africa, abraded by migratory crossings. The poem in Portuguese was composed through stones collected in Berlin, the city where the artist currently resides.
