Fluir, Spanish for flowing, is an abstract composition by Marina Elizalde. Marina here produces a matteric work inspired by natural elements, such as water and air. By doing so, not only does Marina create an artwork that produces a synesthetic experience, but also deals with the concept of 'panta rhei' (πάντα ῥεῖ), everything flows; the passing of time and the idea of Heraclitus that everything is continuously changing. '"No man ever steps in the same river twice, for it's not the same river and he's not the same man"'
