‘The details of the island. The details of the sound. The details of its land. I  recorded the sound that comes from the shore, the animals, the wind. The sound that has always been there and always will. I will find loops, repetitions, mechanisms that inspire me to translate sound into letters, letters into words and words into compositions. The work, a composition of visual notes and loud words, is an audiovisual manifestation of what presence really is, particularly the presence of Ibiza, through subtle details we donʼt often notice… A gentle sound we are used to hearing and donʼt appreciate anymore; a wave we donʼt stop and lock its patterns into our memories.’
