Two flower pots communicate between a window glass. A green plant that grows in the wild has many stories to tell the pot of exotic flowers. Quietly listen to them speak. Eventually, the two become one through a magnetic force that brings them together. One pot free to breath the air of the outside while the other pot shows off its’ beauty to those who are on the inside.

I can imagine amazing future concerts utilizing this technology.

The free-wheeling spirit of those formative days of croquet is gone forever. Or is it?
