Sound is a way of staying with a place.

Sound is a way of staying with a place.

I make listening-led work across field recording, writing, and moving image — attentive to the textures, stories, and small signals that shape a shared environment.

LISTEN FOR THE WIND BEFORE THE FOOTSTEPS

/ ABOUT

Deeply motivated by sound and by what sound allows me to question, notice, and understand. My work grows from sustained curiosity rather than from institutional frameworks, and sound has become my main trigger for pursuing knowledge.

In my practice, sound is not primarily a musical or aesthetic medium. I use it as a way of thinking. Listening allows me to approach questions about perception, memory, and shared identity, including how culture and community are shaped by sonic environments that often remain unnoticed. I am interested in how sound operates beneath representation, influencing how we relate to place and to each other.
