Giving a body to sound, exploring its physicality in space and the way it moves through us — this is where my work is situated. Sound touches our skin, resonates within our flesh, is absorbed and circulates through us: it becomes a living material, elusive yet deeply intimate. What draws me to sound is this ability to inhabit us while simultaneously unfolding around us. Each diffusion is, for me, a physical and psychological encounter between a place, sounds, and listeners; a singular moment where sensitive relationships are woven. I conceive of a sound installation as a sculptural-architectural form, as a gesture of adding a new sonic membrane that connects, through sound, the body and space. The work of sound spatialization is composed from our perception of spaces, while relying on the architectures through which sound propagates. In listening, our bodies absorb sound, resonating beneath our flesh and within our bones.
