\nFor a while, as their volumes caress each other, they take on new silhouettes. Less symmetrical and polygonal, enveloped in a slippery covering, gliding in linear, flat, inflated shells. They are able to expand by gently touching the edges of each other’s shoulders, until they suddenly burst out through the cracks.<\/p>\n
