This four-channel sound installation combines a seascape soundscape with Korean traditional instruments and the voices of speakers of different nationalities. The sound of the sea moves through space, gradually fragmenting before returning to its original flow in recurring cycles. The sounds of Korean traditional instruments, including the geomungo and haegeum, drift leisurely between the foreground and background of the continuous seascape. Through repetition and fragmentation, the different voices wander between sound, rhythm, and linguistic meaning. The overlapping and spatial movement of these three layers create a listening environment in which the sea and diverse beings encounter one another.
