Description

The imagery in this piece captures a profound silence—an abrupt, gurgling stillness akin to being submerged in water. In the contemporary context of excavating histories and unsettling foundations, this image serves as a metaphor for what lies beneath the surface. Displaced from solid ground, the jarring sounds of chiseling, trembling foundations, and unearthed calamities redefine our narratives while silencing the genuine ones.

Employing the metaphor of ‘noises and spaces,’ much like how sounds on land undergoes a transformation when submerged in water, transitioning into a profound silence followed by a gentle gurgle that swallows their harshness. This metaphorical representation of shifting foundations forms the essence of my work—an exploration of uprooted houses and trees adrift beneath the water’s surface, settling in the profound depths of an uncharted ocean in profound silence.
