De/Re:Generation stems from a speculative question: would cicadas sense acoustic information during the up to 17 years they live underground, before emerging from the soil for a brief adult phase marked by intense acoustic display? From this perspective, the installation approaches sound not only as an auditory phenomenon, but as something sensed through the body, making vibration and tactile perception central to the experience.
