In solo exhibition contexts, he often creates listening spaces with an emphasis to the physical manifestations of both environmental and synthetic material agencies. Far from merely interpreting the sonic, his visual works and writings feed into the audible part and are somewhat sonorous themselves. Akin to his nuanced sound pieces, they are often situated at the thresholds of perception, where sensory processes are being modulated, felt and observed. His practice seeks to catch a glimpse of the imperceptible, not to exhaust and actualize it, like science, or purely conceptualize it, like philosophy, but employing aesthetics to embrace the unseen flows, oscillations, and atmospheres that circulate us.
