Solarium
This work unfolds from within atomically complex nodes of organic material, floating freely inside a semi-sentient system, where tactile gestures strain and bristle against an enveloping synthetic atmosphere. Orientation inside the vitreous orb must be continuously renegotiated through repetition, compression, and release, with foreground emanations musically persisting like navigational markers eventually swallowed up by the scale of aberrant fields.
