This audio dance piece explores the human idealized landscape and the ecology that surrounds it, using Mount Cotopaxi in the Andes Mountains of South America and Mount Fuji in Japan as themes. Through the interplay of images, memories, and visual landscapes, we discover the dance of the palm tree and the movement of the cherry tree.
