Although the perimeters may seem fluid, the work is structured around a base of Seven Virtues with twelve images per virtue of either sound, light and/or singing. Seven sections equal the Seven Virtues, each section to explore one virtue in its quarternity. The sections build one on another using the device of a palimpset of images to reinforce and deepen the audience experience through thematic reiterations."
