As the primary sound-generating unit of the overarching project, Transient Frequencies, Piece I solidifies ephemeral sound and movement into a tangible installation, ultimately taking the form of a wing. Constructed from an interplay of pure, fragile glass and rigid, industrial stainless steel components, it serves not only as a visual focal point but also as the main physical conduit resonating with the accompanying behavioral movements.

The piece is part of an interdisciplinary performance and installation exploring vibration as a shared language between body, water, glass, chain, sound, and light. Through physical movement, material interaction, reflection, and resonance, the work examines how phenomena are perceived, transmitted, and transformed over time. It asks what remains when a movement stops, a sound fades, a reflection disappears, or ice melts — whether these transient frequencies simply vanish, or continue as memory, energy, and transformation.
