<p>”This work is concerned with how we, as human beings, inhabit this world and experience our place in it. We live in both a physical world and a spiritual metaphysical world.

The tangible stationary bulk of the suspended spheres co-exist with the intangible ephemerality of the sound piece. “</p>
