Set of 10, approx. 1 × 2 × 3 cm each

As an independent sound-generating unit of the overarching project, Transient Frequencies, Piece Ⅱ focuses on the emotional expression of the hands, ultimately taking the form of fingernails. Crafted from glass shaped directly at the fingertips, the work simultaneously adorns the hands and imposes a physical constraint on the performer, thereby generating a more complex layer of artistic expression.

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.
