breath, void, ground
Before the sound, there is breath. Before the explosion, there is a threshold. Before the noise, there is silence.
Inspired by the physicality of balloons, this thesis explores breath as sonic material that carries memory, moves through bodies, and resonates across spaces. The balloon becomes a skin that holds breath: a force inhaling trauma, ritual, and intimacy. When released through mouth and latex, breath conjures alien, untranslatable voices that hiss and hum.
It begins with a balloon and expands with endless breath. The balloon becomes a site where the history, body, and voice disintegrate and reform. The pressure and tension between skins generate vibration, touching the body and its surroundings.
It is a breathing and sonic practice, not of positioning or grounding the floating self, but of exploring nomadic ways of being in, of, and as a void that resonates between bodies

I am still learning how to understand the world.
As I moved through different countries, cultures, and communities, I often found myself unlearning and rebuilding what I thought I knew. At times I felt unanchored, floating without a sense of safety or belonging. So I began to walk.
Walking became my way of reconnecting. With each step, I used my senses to notice the details around me: shadows cast by sunlight; life growing from soil; the presence of buildings and objects as quiet evidence of human existence. These elements — scent, light, sound, size, temperature — shape our perception of space and memory in quiet and powerful ways.
Through text, photography, and spatial composition, this thesis explores how the everyday — humble and persistent — can ground us. It investigates how sensory elements, when brought into focus, transform ordinary moments into sites of reflection and meaning
