This work plays with the idea of accents acquiring visual effects by juxtaposing two people of the same race and with the same "origin", but with different accents.  The listener tends to form a picture of a certain race based on the accent of the speaker. I attempt to sync up with the other performer's breath and spoken words; I speak English with an ‘accent’ and she speaks without one.
