20 cm long human hair is embedded into the ceramic sphere.
The object is charged by a high voltage generator (120.000 Volts) and the embedded hair is standing upwards due to the electromagnetic field.

Rhythmical it slowly charges and discharges.

Within this object a contextual connection between emotional excitement and physical voltage is being established.

A characteristic of human emotion is being isolated, extracted, transformed and reimplanted into an object, that is again sensitively acting upon a real person.
