In solo exhibition contexts, he often creates listening spaces with an emphasis to both environmental sound matter 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. His practice is often situated at the thresholds of perception, where both formal nuances and sensory processes are being modulated, felt and observed. Saklas 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.
