Giving a body to sound, exploring its physicality in space and the way it moves through us — this is where my work is situated. Sound touches our skin, resonates within our flesh, is absorbed and circulates through us: it becomes a living material, elusive yet deeply intimate. What draws me to sound is this ability to inhabit us while simultaneously unfolding around us. Each diffusion is, for me, a physical and psychological encounter between a place, sounds, and listeners; a singular moment where sensitive relationships are woven. I conceive of a sound installation as a sculptural-architectural form, as a gesture of adding a new sonic membrane that connects, through sound, the body and space. The work of sound spatialization is composed from our perception of spaces, while relying on the architectures through which sound propagates. In listening, our bodies absorb sound, resonating beneath our flesh and within our bones.

My artistic practice is concerned with giving sound a body. This raises a number of questions: how can sound be made tangible? How can it be given form? Corps sonore is a sound and light sculpture-architecture that immerses the viewer at the heart of a living organism, inspired by the world of beekeeping, which has played a significant role in my family history. Within this space, light, matter, and sound are conceived as one and the same entity: an immersive architecture that vibrates, breathes, and evolves around the bodies that inhabit it. The viewer is invited to engage physically with the work in order to experience a fragile environment, subjected to disturbances and disruptions. The atmosphere gradually becomes charged with tension, permeated by signs of a hostile and threatening climate, revealing the vulnerability of this living ecosystem.
