On first impressions, this sculpture appears as a
curious and oversized device. On closer inspection, listening
to the sound, it's function becomes clear: to record and
translate the energy of its immediate surroundings that is
secreted in the rustling of the leaves (susurrus).
Softly spoken voices tell secrets, spread rumours and provide
facts interlaced with complimentary sound contributions.
