Absence and Presence

Sound Installation | Sound, Wood, Bone Conduction Transducers

Exhibited at Rhode Island Convention Center

In Absence and Presence, I explore the transformative potential of sound as a medium for perception and interaction, using wooden objects as a tangible form for auditory experience. Each simplified wooden structure symbolically embodies a part of my body while preserving memories of particular moments and the spaces to which I once belonged. The work invites the audience to encounter the intimate textures of these recollections. Sound manifests audibly only upon physical contact with the sculpture, allowing what initially exists as silence to emerge as an intimate sonic presence perceived within the listener’s body.
