"Inspired by the phenomenon of pareidolia—the tendency to recognize human-like patterns in unexpected places—the piece explores the blurred boundary between human and non-human sound. Through a fusion of acoustic instruments, electronics, vocal samples, and transformed timbres, fleeting traces of human presence emerge and dissolve throughout the work, inviting listeners to experience sound beyond familiar categories." - International Contemporary Ensemble​​​​​​
