"The viewer is able to hear faint sound [emanating] from the palms of hands. In each arm, traditional Korean songs are played with "rough" English translations of each song handwritten (directly on the wall) by the artist each time the piece is exhibited. The handwritten translations evolve as the artist becomes increasingly adept at understanding the words and their meanings."
