Stripped of their former colors, only a pure monochromatic contrast remains, allowing the submerged, withered trees of the Shirogane Blue Pond to transcend their original forms. In this desolate realm, the chaotic yet rhythmic vertical lines transform into visual wavelengths, resembling the irregular frequencies of white noise. This image is an interpretation of silence—it invites us to listen with our eyes to the hidden frequencies and forgotten stories that the earth is urgently conveying through the water's surface.
