3. A fond memory

For the last drawing, I thought back to a simple but very fond memory of mine – when my parents and I made homemade dumplings in our living room. It was a very normal night for us. The TV was on in the background, and we were sitting on the floor, putting the stuffing into the dough. I remember my dad decided to help out; together, the three of us just talked and made dumplings together. At one point, we laughed so hard at my dad’s joke that I cried. The sounds from that memory are the best sounds I can imagine. These sound waves not only represent the highs and lows of the event but also what our laughter looked like. They were similar in form and volume.

Lastly, having two speakers face each other is a message on the way we can use our environment. The reverberations from the speakers are only detectable in the materials and our hands because the speakers are so close to each other. It is like a secret meeting; a personal connection. Had they been placed farther away, the strength of the vibrations would not have been as noticeable.
