‘The Silence Between’
This installation examines notions of departure, distance, memory, and return through an interplay of sculptural metal forms and voice. Drawing from the visual language, the work evokes movement, transition, and the space between places.
An accompanying audio composition, spoken in my mother tongue, takes the form of fragmented and recurring questions surrounding departure and return. Rather than offering resolution, these questions create a space of uncertainty and emotional suspension. Together, the sculptural and sonic elements explore the intangible experience of leaving, waiting, and the possibility of return.
