Absence and Presence

Sound Installation | Medium: Sound, Wood

In the sound installation "Absence and Presence," I explore the transformative potential of sound as a means to perceive and interact, integrating wooden objects as a tangible medium for auditory expression. Through various forms of wooden structures, I symbolically encapsulate aspects of my own body, preserving memories of specific moments in time and the spaces to which I belonged within their simplified figuration. I am captivated by the ability for memories to be both audibly and tangibly experienced by others. The audience is invited to engage with the intricacies of these recollections. Sound manifests audibly only upon physical contact with the sculpture, creating a dynamic where presence is paradoxically marked by absence of sound, yet resonates internally within the listener's ears.
