Collection
an
invisible
space made of sounds,
walk into
wind
chaos
curl up in
silence
loop
defend with
barrier
echos
reborn in
harmony
surrounds
and walk into
chaos
again.
In this infinite journey,
we are all pilgrims.
You are a vessel, sound within you.
Echo bouncing off the barrier around your chest.
A boundary between you and the surrounding,
looping,
looping,
Self isolation and recurring fear,
Wind sees the body as a vessel, a tunnel, or instrument itself.

When I hear a sound, I also envision the shapes and spaces it inhabits. This interplay between sound and space inspires and informs my creative process.
Guided by synesthesia experience, I have integrated sentimental music experience and expresses through the body-space confrontation.
Sound has the power to evoke vision and distort our perception of space. Though I don't meditate, listening to music brings me closest to a meditative state. It creates a boundary within which sound and my emotions resonate, reflecting my current state of mind. As listening to music has become an inseparable ritual in my daily life, I have dubbed this collection Invisible Temple.
