The project utilises both primitive materials and new technologies; the choice of ceramic is significant in its timeless nature, along with the integration of modern audio technology. Throughout her experience of hearing loss, she has continued to take inspiration from her illustration background and explore how sound can be transformed into a visual form. Here, a combination of these experiments with sound and playful visual language results in a multi-faceted audio and visual installation experience. With this work, Seo Hye encourages the participants to explore the subjective nature of sound and celebrate their sonic identities.

A wide-angle view of the gallery space reveals white walls and a wooden floor. White ceramic sculptures are arranged on pedestals and a central platform. Overhead track lighting softly illuminates the artwork, creating a tranquil atmosphere.
