Molecule Variations is a ‘sensible painting’ in Molecule Collection.
In Zoology a nest is an artificial edifice made of different materials built by some kinds of animals (spiders, fish, mammals, birds, bees) due to their natural instinct. The bird’s nest, usually a ‘unique work of art’, and the bees too are masters in building a nest just to maintain their species, to provide for their lives. In Molecule Variations I. the sound (emanating harmoniously from eight loudspeakers), painting and visualisation together induce a feeling of a swarming, a sense of the continuity of living with an infinite loop of sequences.

Oscillation is the most transcendental installation in Molecule Collection.
The spiral composition of hive forms symbolise the circulation of life, the place where you come from and where you arrive. “As if the souls would set out from here to enter life with a sparkling diamond glow, transparently and in shining purity, of the sun-burnished kind of clean soul possessed by a little child. And as if every soul arriving here were muddled and distraught. The soft, tender, gelatinous, crystal, transparent, bird-like, warm little soul alight with the colours of the rainbow, when it returns from life to this hive, and the beekeeper, is distraught, stained and dark. Some are even quite dirty and grey. The beekeeper takes the soul extracted from the hive into his hand. The now hardly conscious soul is panting faintly, stunned by the mysterious transformation that it has, and is undergoing in there, within the hive. Indeed, it is quite grubby. It seems this is a soul from the modern age. Nobody tells me, but in a dream everyone is given to understand things, even if no one explains. The beekeeper looks at it at length, shaking his head, and then finally says: ‘Oh you poor dear, you will soon have to return, when the time will have come, and you are still so muddled? When will you finally become clear?’ With that he carefully places the soul back in the hive and shuts it.” – Béla Hamvas, A babérliget-könyv [The book of the laurel-grove], (Budapest: Médio Kiadó, 2005). The installation has both a standard and a live act version, each reacting to the other installation as well through sound reactions.
