Putting together again
Recomposing is putting something back together, often in a new arrangement.
A musician recomposes a piece by reworking its elements.
Someone recomposes themselves after emotional disruption—gathering scattered thoughts, regaining composure.
In ecological contexts, recomposing refers to human composting, returning a body to soil: Washington became the first state to legalize recomposing.
