Magdalena Abakanowicz: «I fell overwhelmed by quantity where counting is no longer possible. By unrepeatability within such quantity. A crowd of people or birds, insects or leaves, is a misterious assemblage of variants of a certain prototype, a riddle of nature abhorrent to exact repetition or inability to produce it, just as a human hand can not repeat its own gesture. [...] I immerse in the crowd, like a grain of sand in the friable sands. I am fading among the anonimity of glances, movements, smells, in the common absorption of air, in the common pulsation of juices under the skin».
