4’16’’, Video + sound, 2025, presented in Listening Biennial @ AVTO Istanbul

The video opens with the light and free tones of birdsong, which gradually give way to a metallic hum piercing the sky. From the second minute onward, the sound of drones merges with the cold image of barbed wire, evoking the invisible pressure of borders. In the final part, the images dissolve into abstract visuals, transforming into a memory that lingers only as vibrations.

The work resonates as a poetic echo of the fragile balance between freedom and confinement, nature and technology, life and surveillance.
