An afternoon after the rain-
two women sit side by side on a bench,
surrounded by quietly blooming hydrangeas.
This improvised piece captures that moment of stillness,
expressed through gentle woodwinds and soft percussion.

Colored by synesthesia,
the sound embraces subtle emotions that words cannot express.
