Musical Instruments as Landscape, 2022Living close to forests, I discovered that wood emits different frequencies of sound due to the natural environment, the year of growth. So I searched for some wood materials from my home town to make musical instrument sculptures. The final result is a few sculptures with sound impressions and figurative features that come together to form a regional landscape. They are placed as if in conversation.

Musical Maps
21×29.7cm
In this project I tried to invent a new way of describing landscape by using musical maps that expressed the impression of traveling between different locations. I composed some scores and then searched for the sounds I wanted based on them.There are some silent fragments as walking voids, visually 'blank'.And I named the each of instrument with a specific melody.


Sound Landmarks, Found Objects, June 2022


Secret Sounds
Giant chased the sun
Chaos into order
Sleeping in a dream
Hermits abided by hunter's way
Buried a mythical secret

Golden crow crosses the sky,observing the signals of nature
Streams change colour every day
Sky loses its stars and shadow
In the depth of forest,echoing clarino
Freshwater snail leave behind empty house
Nature's wisdom was covered in the earth
The wind hides in the pines

Golden crow crosses the sky,observing the signals of nature
Flams burn brightly
Streams boil in the day and freeze in the night
Bells rang out in the distance
In the rhythm of machines
Thoughts poured into linguistic fossils
Potential beings crown the silent truth

Golden crow crosses the sky observing the signals of nature
Constellation on the ground
Without a centre without an edge
Following way of balance
Silence blends all
Transformation is coming
Running brook has its own song
All things bathe in warm shine
whispering in ancient rhyme
