This piece uses selected parts of the first and second movements of the horno concerto “Naturaleza humana” (Human nature), and it functions as a whole and independent unit.

The title of the piece makes reference to the emotional emptiness, that contrasts and paradoxically mirrors the vast and seeming endless void of the universe.
