Delving deep into the profound concepts of the impermanence of all things and beings, echoing a sense of liberation within... This work portrays an evolving realm where the ephemeral nature of living is celebrated rather than mourned. A constantly shifting landscape where beauty and chaos exist side by side, intertwined and inseparable. This project is the starting point of research into the relationships with the discarded unseen, featuring found objects, digital sensing and interactivity within a constantly transforming installation, that never stays the same, just like any landscape.

This piece is an interactive creature made from discarded bandsaw blades, found and upcycled wood with an integrated motor and movement detection technology. Sensing anyone approaching, it produces sharp metal sounds like an outer-space drum machine. Surrounded by the collected e-waste in its first version this piece had several transformations with a flipped remake. Further versions of the ‘Innocent’ installation showcased the evolution of relationships with the discarded, as between an author and subject/object.

The central figure in this work is a creature both innocent and otherworldly. Though formed from blades, they are rendered harmless; dulled by time, they no longer cut. Yet, as one approaches, a sharp metallic sound is triggered, produced by a motorized rod that strikes each blade in a rhythmic, circular motion. These percussive sounds are reminiscent of an outer-space drum machine, unfamiliar yet deeply human. This sound becomes a metaphor, reflecting the circular, spiral movement of human history, mirroring my nation's ongoing struggle for independence. The blades, though innocent, emit a cry, a song of resistance and resilience whenever touched by an external force.
