An interpretation of the city Thekla from Italo Calvino's imaginative novel "Invisible Cities." Thekla's inhabitants never cease constructing the city, consumed by the need to always push forward for fear the city may crumble upon completion.
In this piece, the inhabitant's infinite work ethic manifests itself in the blueprint of a machine that is a fractal, a geometric pattern with no end. As a result, the machine in the blueprint can never reach completion.
