The creative process by which an idea is transformed into the final product held a particular interest for the choreographer. In this respect, the initial motivation for the dance operated as a stepping stone from which developed successive ideas that resulted in the final form.

The four sections of the dance were motivated by an interest to show growth towards self-realization of the individual. A direct relation was established in the first section between the use of stage area and the development of the personality.

Section II showed an increasing awareness of the self, arousing feelings of an ambivalent nature both internally and externally.
