-	Title of the piece is a quote by Fernando Pessoa, a Portugese poet/writer. I heard this quote in a French movie by Jean-Luc Godard called “Hélas pour moi” and it struck me in a profound way. 

-	This piece is about the idea of nature reclaiming the earth once humankind have wiped themselves out. 

-	It features various states of growth and takeover as remnants of human-made structures get covered, tangled, choked and destroyed by plant-life.

-	A musical time-lapse culminating in a calm, poignantly beautiful, but ultimately lonely world.
