Nagy is looking for a mystical relationship between life and matter. She approaches the subject with rhythmical playfulness. She juxtaposed the artificial formation, monoliths, with the law of nature, metamorphosis. She uses symbolic wings to make this transition more playful and harmless. At the same time she warn us about the monoliths that could endanger our life and future.

This work is focused on the XXI century and on the new world we live in. The artist uses symbolic images and languages and built vertical gigantic monoliths representing our inheritance from our past. She is raising her voice to warn us about the danger we face based on Einstein's physical discoveries, Heidegger's philosophy and other sources. Our future is built on past achievements. The changes, conflicts, miscommunications, successes are all represented by a guiding line (duct tape) running through her boxes. The surface of the boxes are also colored and the tape is not always attaching the next line. The artist built the boxes together, purposely discontinuing the lines using a building method to create tension between the boxes. This condition creates a situation where the monoliths are no longer able to pile in the gravitational space. This is why in her installation the last monolith, the "Head", can fall off since it lost its stability. The sculptures are floating in the air between the positive and negative space of the earth where gravitation can throw them off balance. A circle is drawn on the ground. The inner part of the circle is the positive space and the outer part is the negative space. In her installation she represents seven different areas, which she purposely led to an apocalyptic situation. Subsequently, she moved this idea toward a new equilibrium with the help of a symbolic power wearing mythological wings. This new world is the world of metamorphoses. The simplistic particles are arranged within the color system. The guiding tapes create a new space with horizontal and vertical crossings. In this way they can move ahead without any interruption. The guiding tapes create the new space and time relationship as well as the new dimension.
