Can we hear your voice? Can we sense your, suffering, pain and small joys? This work searches for the voice of "you" that can be heard by drifting through the city, following its traces, and standing still. I want to hear the voice of 'you' who is thinking of me here. I think this is possible not only at the other shore, but also at the distance/conditions where we cannot see each other in this life. The voice we hear may be someone else's voice, a passerby in front of us, or perhaps yours. The vulnerability of 'you' and me. We pick up an ashen body that we have lost sight of, as if we were holding a palmful of sand, and also expose our own bodies as such. And we experience the unsettling sensations that arise here, and receive them in each of our bodies. To experience becoming oneself through the other. I hope to use this creation as a pilot and install it in countless cities.
