The piece contemplates on nature and memory, embracing a cyclical notion of time. Written in four movements, the music shifts from austere to pulsating rhythms, dreamlike textures, and the endless sounds of a forest. Blending contemporary techniques with a close engagement with the natural world, the work reflects on time, beauty, and renewal.
