The installation occupies 75 square meters of surface and 7,3 meters high and is composed of two sections containing 608 drops each.

Each drop is attached by a steel cable to the motors hidden in the ceiling. Droplets move precisely, From top to bottom, following patterns controlled by special software. The drops follow a choreography of 15 minutes, in which the two segments move in unison, as a complement and sometimes responding to each other, to form figures like an airplane, a balloon or a comet, to represent the beauty and harmony with which they move in the air.
