Threshold Choir explores the fragile space between presence and disappearance.
Kiln-fired layers, atmospheric staining, and fractured vertical forms create the sensation of figures emerging through fog, memory, or light itself.

The work moves between structure and dissolution — where architectural traces collide with ghost-like human rhythms. As light shifts through the glass, the image never fully settles, remaining suspended between material surface and psychological space.

I wanted the piece to feel as if something was appearing and dissolving at the same time: a memory, a gathering, a signal through fog.

The image changes completely depending on light, distance, and angle — never fully fixed.

For me, Threshold Choir speaks about the invisible traces we carry: memory, spirit, silence, and the unseen connection between inner worlds and physical reality.
The figures are not fixed. They appear and dissolve depending on the light, like echoes moving through time.

Glass became more than material here — it became a veil between dimensions, holding what cannot be fully spoken.
