Description:
In this work we see a time-lapse of generations passing by, where the focus is on the starting youngest generation. This voice seems uncomplicated and innocent at first, but as it flows through the recorders we see live life and the generations around them become more intense and hectic.
We hear a perspective from a traveling person in these generation, but at the same time we hear how voices around them operate in their phases of life.
When the starting generation has reached the end of their cycle, it is time to let it go and watch all generations after them in a peaceful and fulfilled way.
