Several pieces are coupled with illustrations throughout, offering a visual rendering of Arayal's words. Sifting through the collection, you will surely catch on the author's practice of drawing on the natural elements such as the sea, air, sun, and stars to bridge the thread between us and the world around us.

Readers will experience the three umbrella themes of collection, preservation, and decay. In this collection, readers will find pieces threaded with feminism, love, and contemplation.

With each page, readers will find themselves consumed by the stirrings of Arayal's words, breathless for more.
