My approach to learn kanji will be to learn them like if they were egyptian glyphs: learn how they look what they mean either alone on in group, no matter if i don't know their spelling, that will be learned later by reading text with furigana.

This is "Morgana", my latest composition -- my latest, little, evanescent Castle-in-the-air, all made of Arabic and Turkish sounds: Bendir, Oud, Bouzuki, and Derbake

From Wikipedia:
A Fata Morgana (Italian: [ˈfaːta morˈɡaːna]) is a complex form of superior mirage visible in a narrow band right above the horizon. The Italian term Fata Morgana translates the name of the Arthurian sorceress Morgan le Fay ("Morgan the Fairy"), due to a belief that these mirages, often seen in the Strait of Messina, were fairy castles in the air or false land conjured up by her witchcraft to lure sailors to their deaths.

The video merges two clips:

(1) Excerpts from "Desert Tortoise Trouble" (https://archive.org/details/Desert_Tortoise_Trouble).Shot in 2019 by ClarkCountyNV. It focuses on the "Challenges the Desert Tortoise face in their changing Mojave Desert habitat."

(2) A video that I shot myself on the train from Ottignie to Leuven, Belgium, a few days ago.

I tried to render the idea of a railway appearing in the desert, while the cute desert tortoise moves on. A mirage of a mirage, one might observe.
