Sculpture installation with metal, wood, and plastic boxes. A presentation of a conflict between developed, underdeveloped, and modern society.

Nagy's location for the show was a 2000 year old catacomb, built into an art gallery for her show in which she emphasized on three different developments of social structures. Her mediums of expression were metal, wood, and plastic. Her symbolic language was based on the 4 principle elements Earth, Fire, Water and Air. The units were variable.

The wooden masks, the third world, were exhibited together as a river flow that Nagy combined with Achat stones, which have healing powers. They were connected with low-current wires, but they were not in contact with the modern life she symbolized with transparent plastic boxes.
