The story

Diversium is constantly seeking how similarities and differences can work and live together. How they can create a community, where there is no connection. Receptive and cognitive communication of minds and bodies. It's made of conversations and nonverbal encounters. It doesn't tell a story, its goal is not to inform, it only tries to shed light on the myriad opportunities in the differences. It's trying to scratch your surface…

Who am I anyway?

Am I defined by everything that emanates from within me, or am I just lost?

Am I defined by everything that clings to me? Or did I take them away?

Too many questions, yet there's no one to answer.

I am constantly grappling with the fragments of myself, piecing them together, and ultimately melting into them.

I am someone unique, yet simultaneously, I am an echo of all of you—a reflection of a shard from a shattered mirror.

I embody a fragment of a torn soul, yearning to reunite with the whole.

I had a vision,

Where you and I weren't,

just a blurry center from a big mess.

It was a tale of silhouettes emerging from the mist, of vibrant swirls of color scattered across the ground.

There was lightning, throbbing, and then an enormous light.

In the end it's you and me again.

Down here, it's the dance of wounded souls,

a forceful wriggling.

Up there, there's a freeing euphoria,

happiness, harmony.

Below there's sorrow.

and disruption.

Above, there's humbleness,

a flowing energy.

And in between, you await, finally discovering Yourself amidst the two contrasts.
