The essence of life is sound.

This was the sculpture that inspired my style being the first artwork of the series. This piece was created during my residence at Obsidian Glass in Pretoria, South Africa, in 2016.
"The Essence of Life is Sound" stands as a pivotal artwork within my series, symbolizing the profound influence of sound and vibrations on the human experience. Crafted during my residency at Obsidian Glass in Pretoria, South Africa, in 2016, this sculpture holds a special place in my artistic journey.

This captivating piece takes the form of a mask adorned with an arrangement of tuning forks, meticulously integrated to evoke a visual symphony. The sculpture serves as a powerful reminder that sound permeates every aspect of our existence and shapes our perception of the world.

In exploring the idea that humans are vibratory beings deeply connected to the energetic rhythms of the universe, "The Essence of Life is Sound" encapsulates the essence of my artistic style. It delves into the profound relationship between sound, energy, and life itself.

Through the skillful fusion of materials and form, the sculpture aims to convey the transformative power of sound and its ability to shape our emotional states, perceptions, and overall well-being. The resonating tones of the tuning forks symbolize the harmonies and dissonances that reverberate within our souls.

The mask, with its intricate design, invites viewers to reflect upon their own relationship with sound. It encourages them to explore the depths of their sensory experiences and embrace the interplay between sound, vibrations, and human consciousness.

"The Essence of Life is Sound" is not merely a static artwork; it is a dynamic portal into the realm of frequencies and vibrations. It beckons viewers to attune their senses to the subtle symphony that surrounds them, to listen deeply and discover the inherent beauty and power within the realm of sound.

As an artist, my intention is to awaken an awareness of the transformative potential of sound, to inspire contemplation on the interconnection between our inner world and the vibratory nature of the universe. Through this sculpture and the series it represents, I strive to convey the profound truth that sound is indeed the essence of life itself.
It is a mask featuring light-emitting tuning forks. It is founded on the premise that humans are vibratory creatures that are continually influenced by frequencies and vibrations.
