The 45-minute show takes viewers through the diurnal cycle — several times over. The setting sun is "a metaphorical prompt encouraging the audience to let go", says Wong. "A sunset or sunrise could trigger an epiphany, make us realize that we're perhaps focused on things that don't matter that much, and change our perspective."

The piece is conceived on lines similar to Wong's earlier works such as Auguries of Innocence and A Heaven in a Wild Flower — experiential installations seeking to create a contemplative space where viewers can experience mindfulness, and as Wong says, "pay attention to the present moment, and reflect on our actions and behavior".
