Ava uses these as sound materials for the means of solidarity across continents. The recorded voice of these acquaintances will be pulsating in the space along the generated sound of analogue synthesizer. This piece is an experimentation for creating mood by the means of amplification and spatialization. This piece meant to be transforms by four metal sculptures installed in the space. There is no seating assigned and no beginning and end. The performance goes on for two hours The audience are free to step in and out as they are pleased. Four "f" stands for Freedom, Frequency, Forte, Feminism.
