The site specific work engages with the newest book in the Czech Sculpture collection of Henry Moore’s Institute Sculpture Library creating a dialogue between material, text, and the artist's national heritage. It relates ot Glass Zlin (2022). Using the same beads employed in the studio that have been melted into suspended glass fibres each holding a single glass drop which drips from the book into the library space. This connects to the annealing point—a moment of balance between movement and stillness, when glass cools enough to "rest" and hold together.

The drops were also displayed with the Czech Art collection around the corner. This consists of 12 book published between 1967-1992, they are marked with an annealing point that evokes specific points during a turbulent period of the country's history.
