Deoxygenation lets go of the confines of the square and works horizontally with varied approaches to passages and to the different shapes of the marble tesserae. It’s lucky due to the “eight”. Can you see the “squashed eight”? The adventures of the simple materials are bouncing from one passage to the next. One inhales leading to the next breath as the gap between the tesserae expands and contracts.

This is “Purple Passages’s” partner. It celebrates passages of tone and structure. The pink marble has a softness about it and is warmed by the chestnut adhesive which provides a sensitivity to the stone.

Inhale – the lungs expand. Oxygen rushes into the blood through the passages of blood vessels around the materials of the lungs – the alveoli. It gives life. The blue turns to red. It lights up the strong passages. It lives. It is alive. The pressed metal tin panel supports the mosaic, like how the ribs and the vertebrae support the lungs.

Exhale – the lungs collapse. It’s blue. It has the power to initiate death if the passages do not open up again. The carbon dioxide initiates the next breath. Where’s the passage of life?

We can be misled, but sometimes we need to explore into or among the deeper aspects of something, as opposed to that are most easily identified.

When one suffers from mental illness, you can feel broken. It's like a fracture and this passage or broken bone will always be on x-ray. It reminds one "that things don't go back together" when broken.

The passage to shine has been broken. One is trying to find another thread in this darkness. But it is not easy. It is difficult to commit to life in the real world! The passage has been broken again and again.

The small fragile slate passages or messages can be initially overlooked. But I don’t tell what, where, when and which passage, because to disclose is to shed. It is too vulnerable, but yet complex. The passages are varied and sometimes simply constructed through tone and small tesserae developing into larger, but provide the complexity of wellness. The next passage sometimes sits underneath, or just goes off in a bizarre angle.
