This work explores the nature of love and memory through the medium of the voice.


By collecting the voices of loved ones, transforming them into music, and imprinting their vibrations onto the analog medium of vinyl records, it materializes emotions that are otherwise intangible.

The warmth and vibration of the voice are carried through rippling waves. Sound spreads and fades in an instant, yet water momentarily holds its traces. A gentle tremor forms delicate waves, while a deep resonance disturbs the surface, sending ripples outward.

This work captures the fleeting traces of sound through water and imprints them onto an analog medium. The vibrations drawn on the water’s surface by the voice are not merely visual patterns but moments in which emotions and memories take shape. And the medium that records them possesses the ability to grasp the ephemeraal waves and preserve them as lasting imprints.

Though sound eventually disappears, its traces remain. Like ripples expanding across the water, the voice extends through time, leaving behind its record.
