Breath, wood, metal and near-inaudible signals gather into an unstable ecology that seems to grow by itself.

Selected works

Thirteen players balance on a line that keeps bending beneath them, shedding pulse, weight and identity as they move.
Codex
Parchment-like miniatures preserve, obscure and overwrite one another as inscription repeatedly becomes erasure.
“-_-” seen
A three-minute apparition in which breath, tremor and electronic afterimage keep exchanging the outline of a body.
Explore
An intra-textural neural network of sound, matter and unstable relations.
