Incertitude and a dense heavy matter hide behind it, contrasting with the original idea of a balloon. The shape emerged from these balloons stuck together is not a smooth inviting form. It gives the idea of a recomposed body, an informal repulsive form, and an unrecognisable body; it is an Antibody. To defend itself, it reacts like an alive being, frightening the other beings entering its space. It inflates itself as much as it can. It reacts like the antibodies present in our body.
