Sound sculpture made from metal, gypsum, foam, plastic, moss, rubber, sleeves, glass, light neon
Tree is an interactive sculpture that explores the intimate connection between sound and emotion. The work emerges from a dreamlike space where fragments of memory, feeling, and subconscious associations converge creating a fragment of a landscape. Through sound and touch the sculpture translates subtle inner experiences into tangible form inviting visitors to encounter their own emotional and physical responses.
The piece is conceived as an object in a state of suspended déjà vu. Its material elements evoke a surreal narrative: crumpled plastic shaped into a breathing heart, a fractured vase, shattered glass, a broken window, traces of bullet casings. Moss and flowers inhabit the same terrain as these remnants, situating the sculpture between destruction and renewal.
Created out of emotions that accompany wartime existence — guilt, anger, anxiety, sadness, joy, envy and fleeting pleasure — the work embodies the contradictions of lived experience under pressure. Tree can be read as both the body of a possible future world and the body of a future human being, a speculative gesture toward modeling alternative, surreal landscapes where fragility and resilience coexist.
