When we collide explores the imprint of a hug, one that is longed for, remembered, and desperately needed. It begins with absence: a missing embrace that lingers in the body like a trace of something once deeply felt. As the movement unfolds, the search for this lost connection grows urgent, almost unbearable. What starts as a gentle memory becomes a necessity, a visceral need. The piece reaches its climax in a powerful collision: an embrace so intense it borders on destruction.
