"Form": Two imperfect forms mirrored on either side — only together do they make a circle, only together do they make a life. The outward side of life is a frame, describing the relation between individual existence and others — that is one half. In the inward search for reflection, only the truth of one's own practice remains — that is the other half. "Sound": Eye, ear, nose, tongue, body, mind — the ear and the tongue can hardly exist at the same time. Bézier curves form a free, nonlinear space, reflecting acoustics and distorted intention, letting the meditator speak and listen within the same time and space — toward self-reflection.

Unlike most yoga rooms, and imagining the consciousness is capricious, distorted, and non-linear, the site interior is enveloped in Bezier surface, defined by a set of control points, from wall to ceiling in deep color backdrops. With the continuously smooth surface, the site is visually intuitive, inspiring the meditator’s introspection to probe into the intricacy of the relationship between physical and mental situations. Additionally, with consecutive smooth surfaces formed in Bezier surface, this non-linear space gives meditators perceive the sense of speaking and listening, the echo of acoustics, and reversing sensory perception simultaneously, providing a way of self-talking.
