The piece has two parts: a three-channel video-installation where three guards meditate in the lotus position and begin levitating until they disappear. And a series of eight photos, with the guards meditating cross-legged, which also includes the LASGMM (Los Angeles Security Guard Meditation Movement) manifesto.
