The speaker discussed how sculpture, often seen as a static and tangible art form, can instead become a medium for the unseen. Their work translates sound, memory, and human interaction into material form, using elements like stone and glass to capture the ephemeral. By allowing participants to feel sound rather than simply hear it, the talk emphasized how art can merge sensory experience, ecological awareness, and human connection. Through this approach, sculpture moves beyond the boundaries of materiality, inviting audiences to reconsider how the tangible and intangible intertwine.
