【記憶】TeleAbsence between Amber and Ember
What fades is not lost.
An *amber* remembers the light it once held.
An *ember* remembers the warmth it once gave.
Between them lives *TeleAbsence* —
the quiet glow of what remains,
and the gentle reverberation of what is gone.

【記憶】TeleAbsence between Amber and Ember
消えてゆくものは、失われるのではない。
アンバー *amber*（琥珀）は、過去の光を記憶し、
エンバー *ember* （残り火）は、遠い日の温もりを憶えている。
そのあいだに「テレアブセンス」が息づく——
そこには、過去の存在が放った輝きがあり、
失われたものの静かな余韻がある。

TeleAbsence explores how technology can evoke a sense of presence with those from the past, using poetic encounters and sensory cues to help people reflect on memory, loss, and connection.
