For this sound installation, I turned the experience of bodily presence into a physical, inhabitable space.

To create an intimate experience for visitors, I made a tent of white T-shirts meant to evoke the human form while also offering a sense of sanctuary.

Inside, a speaker played a soundscape of intertwined heartbeats and breath patterns.

The experience reimagines the human body as a space — of being, dwelling, and experiencing — inviting participants to reflect on their relationship with their own physicality and the basic rhythms of existence.
