The philosophers' thought about the musical nature of the identity of the human body has become my main source of inspiration. The assumption that a man from prenatal life is marked by the trembling of sounds through the sense of touch I confronted with my own experiences. The ephemeral nature of sounds and their influence on the body prompted me to undertake an experiment of self-knowledge, reflection on my own identity in the context of experiencing the trembling of matter .Based on the relation of rhythms, movements, pulsations and body vibrations a subjective message searching for identity and a specific score of the somatic trajectory of rhythms were created. Graphics resonates with trembling of the human body. The intaglio art work exists in the context of the musical body, subordinated to metronomes, enclosed in a quarter-note tact. I chose the form of the imprint because it is original, primitive, marked by a mystery. I treated my body instrumentally as a material which warmth could remove the varnish from the sheet metal and which the structure could leave a textural trace. Entangling the body in the cultural and social contexts often imposes, determines and limits. A man, abandoned in a way that constantly strikes the rhythm and imposes the pace of mechanisms, must find his melody, color, vibration, musical affiliation in the trembling of other matter in the world.
