“A moth flew inside my studio after video projector’s light. Spiders ate it. After I cleaned the floor and threw the leftovers to yard outside, I noticed that the corpse started to move by itself against the wind. As I looked down, I noticed an ant carrying the corpse back towards the grass field and forest where it originally had come from. The soundtrack consists of field recordings including birds singing, and the sounds of ant colony walking over dry leaves in the nearby forest accompanied with loops of piano chords.”
