A story of a search and a song. It is three hundred years since the artist’s family fled France when she returns to the villages in which they once lived. She walks a circle around these three small villages looking for a memory of their absence. She pays attention to the less obvious. She looks for clues in the weeds that grow on the verges. She listens for sounds that are missing.
