What is your reaction?

Thought, emotion and response all take place rapidly in your own mind. Against a fading beat, isolated events attempt to control a rhythm that seamlessly

disappears and reappears as set text questions your own thoughts.

Divided Against captures the physical response to an uncontrollable reaction.

Where is your truth? Where are your wisdom and understanding?
