Mixed into the audio track is a field recording captured during a visit to Essex's Knepp Estate, known for its substantial rewilding efforts aimed at restoring the purple emperor butterfly population. The persistent drought that marked the UK's summer of 2022, when the visit occurred, creates a striking juxtaposition with the animation's simulation of flowing water.
