Transformation Tapestry (February 2023)

Zwitzermaschine, Berlin

I felt a sound that seemed to know me. It reached into my soul and moved with the rhythms of me. It saw me and reflected back my truth but kept safe my secrets, embedded in the waves and undulations.

This multipart interwoven sound tapestry was developed as a reflection on the individual experience of trauma or more specifically the process of coming out of trauma through PTSD EMDR therapy. It explores ideas of therapeutic transformation through sound and light with a strong focus on embodiment as the portal through which transformation occurs. Each component can be experienced as an individual event but as a consdquence of the nature of sound as leakage, it can and will be experiences also as a whole.

The interactive components to the installation remind us that as humans we impact and influence the experience of others. We are constantly co-creating the worlds that we co-habit. This piece invites you to sit with vibration and sound in shared spaces and have individual transformation as well as collective sonic experiences.

We speak not in words but in sounds. We do not deal with the consdiouc but the subliminal. It is in the sub-conscious where deep seeds of pain can be set free and latent potentials awoken.
