This project explores the potential to establish an auditory-visual linkage. Having the theme mediation in mind, the background audio selected comes from the sound of a temple bell. An object that symbolizes sanctuary and auspicious. A recursive sound with repetitive pattern, predictable yet contemplating, reverberating, resonating with the listener.

The movement of the curve is then responding to the amplitude of the audio. In the contrary, intended to create a sense of surprise. The curvature centered on the screen, gradually circulating around the point. Later, connected to additional pin-points along the edges of the display, forming thousands of curves animated with the audio. Using this simple mechanism, continuously manipulating, overlaying, and recreating. As the audience listening to the piece, the person is constantly registering the image with the sound. At certain moments, a complex three-dimensional form is revealed.
