"Sound + Vision is an invitation to rethink how we perceive the sensations of our everyday lives. Through a balance of layered tones and striking textures, my goal is to depict the movement and shapes that subtly accompany our lives. From the sounds we hear passing summer block parties to the songs shared by loved ones on playlists from afar, each has specific elements waiting to be expressed as splashes of colors. As the textures play against one another, I encourage the audience to pause with the undemanding aspects of life and remain present in the experience itself. ⁠
⁠
I believe that we too often view the world through a singular and narrow lens, only allowing our habitual and empirical experiences to inform our perspective. Through my work, I hope to widen that lens, even if it is at the smallest degree. ⁠
⁠
By incorporating elements of synesthesia, I create a visualization of music. My hope is to transcend traditional interpretations of experience and to reimagine the familiar. Intended to feel elusive, I invite the viewer to envision the potential of each piece in their own regard, thereby making the final product one of collective consciousness." ⁠
