Interference Vibration Diptych, 2024

Using structured patterns and precise color interactions to create a perceptual field, the work shifts and vibrates with the viewer's movement. The image does not remain static but instead pulses and oscillates, engaging the eye in a dynamic, ever-changing experience. This instability mirrors the way sound waves propagate through space-fluctuating, overlapping, and resonating in ways that are both mathematical and organic.

The work investigates how the brain processes visual information, particularly in relation to rhythmic repetition and harmonic interference. The carefully layered forms generate moirÃÆ'Æ'Æ'ÃÆ''Ã'Ã'© effects and chromatic distortions that challenge the boundaries between surface and depth, presence, and illusion, creating a sensation of movement that is purely optical yet deeply physical.

This phenomenon is central to my broader practice, where I translate the imperceptible forces of vibration-whether sound waves, light waves, or energy fields-into visible, tangible structures. By activating the eye's natural response to contrast and frequency, this work extends beyond passive viewing, becoming an immersive encounter where the act of perception itself becomes part of the composition.
