The start-up of the Intangible Loophole series is raised by the multi-sensorial potentials of the Ear Judas (or wood ear/tree jellyfish). This locally foraged fungus resembles a human ear and grows in many different shapes that were personally attractive enough to turn into sound, until the ear could hear itself. The cartilage-like appearance hypothetically increases the sensorial empathy of the viewer, because it contains  recognizable parts of the human body -coexisting with more velvety, elastic and fleshy entities.
