This work consists of six gates, gravel, and ten loudspeakers. It creates an acoustic space by resonating the sound of footsteps via five microphones installed under the corridor connecting the gates.

In Buddhism, there is a concept called riku-dõ, which means “six paths”.
This is a Buddhist conceptualization of the mind. By passing through the six gates symbolizing riku-dõ, one might attempt to release their emotions in harmony with the solemn sound of footsteps.
Depending upon the viewer’s state of consciousness and psychological condition at the time of experiencing MON, the sound will change shape in the brain.

This work is a ritual for listening to elusive silence.
