I Hear You Better With Noise




I Hear You Better With Noise is a series of sound-sculpture installations that translate the affective qualities of friendship into a sensory environment. Developed in collaboration with four close friends, the works transform conversations and personally significant objects into resonant sculptural forms activated by transducers (contact speakers). Sound, composed from recorded conversations, travels through these materials—shaped by their density, size, and structure—producing subtle variations in vibration and pressure that are felt as much as heard. Installed in response to the architectural elements rather than presented as discrete objects, the work invites slow movement, proximity, and sustained attention, allowing relationships—between the artist and participants, a viewer and a sculpture, or among viewers—to be experienced through resonance, duration, and shared spatial presence.
