A frozen human figure is trapped in stone, and exists in an ethereal and simple world. It is as if the figure were between two mirrors facing each other, with smaller figures just like it fading into the background. It is an art piece, or so we think, and we move more closely in to admire the figure closest to the foreground. As we close in, we see that it is a person struggling to break free from the stone that entraps it. Its neck muscles strain and stretch, its arm and legs tense and seize. The repeating figures do the same.
The endeavor seems to be all but a lost cause, but then the stone faults. Crumbled pieces of marble lay at the figure's feet, and it steps out of the space it was trapped in. The figures ascend through and to another plane, literally lifting themselves up through a floor, defying the laws of physics. Triumphantly, they turn their gazes upward to something unseen.
