"Harmony" implies a balance, calm and beautiful. "X" is the factor that is intent on disrupting this balance; in Harmony X the artist has defined the factor as "you." With the slightest click of your finger, tranquility evaporates, and the factors of balance and harmony slowly disintegrate over time. Perhaps this black void represents humanity in its most primitive state.
