IDEA

—

The installation is a kind of membrane that resonates with the environment.

The SAW neon sign fades in response to noise.

The arresting and stark nature of this installation encourages silence while simultaneously provoking increased consciousness and awareness of global threats.

The installation is partly made with recycled materials.
