The theme of the work, which originated precisely on September 11, 2001, contemplates a personal journey towards death. Although the work is a meditation on the Buddhist concept of cyclical flow of life and death, the structure is based on the metaphor of the journey of the Greek archetype Persephone.

“…Parlour is a long, brave work, danced with intense focus and hypnotic beauty. Its circular, ritualistic repetitions and tendril-like extensions gathered restranined emotional momentum as Vachananda tossed her head and clasped or probed her body as she investigated the space between life and death.” – Lee Christofis, The Australian 14/6/05
