Goat-Skin Sculpture w/Transducer, as one of the "voicing organs" in Phantasmata, Silencio © 潘麗 Anita Pan
"Come, you lost atoms."

The summoning is drawn from Bird Parliament, an epic by the twelfth-century Persian Sofi poet Farid ud-Din Attar:

Come you lost Atoms to your Centre draw,
And be the Eternal Mirror that you saw:
Rays that have wander'd into Darkness wide
Return, and back into your Sun subside.
