This piece was created after a conversation with the people he was sharing room with, and after watching the additive nature of the rest of the interventions. He felt an interest for taking something out instead of adding. The fan blade, painted with the same white paint from the ceiling, creates a visual instability when you try to catch the movement of it, appealing to the approximation of the use of space and balance. La pieza surge tras una conversación con los compañeros de habitación, y de observar la naturaleza aditiva del resto de las intervenciones; surgió un interés por quitar algo más allá de agregar. El aspa del ventilador, pintado con la misma pintura blanca del techo, crea un desequilibrio visual en la manera de percibir el movimiento del mismo, apelando a las aproximaciones al uso del espacio y al equilibrio.
