TIME
The first smile of an unborn child takes shape, a child protected by a wait with no concept of time. Concealed, inert, slow, in the tone of a linear dream. An early dream that pervades the first few days of our unstoppable physical formation, and which fills our initial mental picture with abstraction. Immersed, perceiving visions, making out sounds, structuring the uncontrollable receptivity of the «in born».

COLOUR
The child remains in red darkness, constructing images the he will preconceive as essential elements, without even formulating ideas for himself. Open, enjoying a certain awareness of the luminous rhythm. Conceiving nexuses between the decontextualised images and sound filteres through his watery surroundings. Slowing the development of this rudimentary bodily systems into larger, fundamental structures.

MATTER
His body adopts an asymmetrical posture involving flexion and reflexion, as a means for self-development and the need to be aware of his own presence. He educates his sense of touch bby moulding his capsule (his vital context), he has a presentment of skin and accedes to it by exercising pressure, generating for himself a congenital predisposition towards being interested in the world outside and in manipulating it.

TACTILITY
He has no knowledge of prevision, control or inexactness. Intuited matter: solid and liquid in a related confluence. Accepting his surroundings of interconnections, participating, acquiring experiences that will later revert into elemental survival strategies.

SPACE
His surroundings, a space delimited by the species precise evolution over thousands of years, become increasingly restricted, a circumstance that leads his mobility to become movement.
