Transitions is a study in 24 hours of calm and chaos and calm. A collaboration between screen print street artist Tara Zanzig and animator Katie Kapuza, this represents both artists and the feelings of moving through the day and night without thought of routine or purpose. The sun salutation is a comment on the yoga and body art of Tararchy. Each of the 24 sun salutations represent one hour out of a day. Within these "hours" the 12 poses are transitioned within themselves, sometimes over lapping with other "hours" to create a build up of the subconscious garbage that collects unknowingly in our minds throughout a day.
