Sensory perception is a vital aspect of understanding the world and forming a relationship with our surroundings. The information overload, amplified by digital media, results in an imbalance dominated by visual stimuli. This work stems from my personal perspective on the conscious experience of not just what is seen, but what is heard. Sound became the core theme—everyday, mundane, yet extraordinary at the same time. For me, it is not only a source of joy but a tool for finding inner peace.

In this project, I work with sound in relation to the exterior. I seek out elements typical of the street—fences, drainpipes, roofings, barrels, vents—and assemble them into objects. I am interested in the physics underpinning the work: sound as a wave, the possibilities of its direction and transmission, noise reduction, absorption, and amplification. The visual concept borrows 'street' objects with sonic potential, presenting them in their raw state—worn, sharp, and material-focused—complemented by stickers or graffiti. They adapt. They assimilate. They become conspicuous chameleons; the street accepts them, and suddenly they are a natural part of it. Through minor interventions, I uncover their acoustic potential while amplifying familiar sounds we usually ignore. This is not just a work with found objects, but with found sounds. Their scale offers a range of experiences, from intimate personal moments to sounds that occupy the public square.
