Only Sound Remains

Multi-Media Installation (Ceramic Objects, Video, Sound) 2014

​

Only Sound Remains explores the intersection of memory and space through soundscapes, aiming to understand how individuals perceive acoustic memories—emotionally, physically, and spiritually. This project features eleven ceramic vessels, drawing from ancestral traditions, that encapsulate sounds from my personal memories, including marketplace ambience, prayers, marches, an explosion, storytelling, and traditional Iranian music. Accompanying video shows women narrating personal stories, while the vessels metaphorically store private auditory memories. Viewers can experience these sounds collectively in the installation space or individually by interacting with each vessel.
