The Inner Voice of Sound

The city has become the natural environment of the urban dweller. We, who now exist in our natural environment with our voices, are squeezed between our own silence and the sound of the city.
Each city creates its own voice and makes it part of its identity. We become a part of this identity with our voices.
While we think that we get away from the sound of the city by wearing our headphones, we know that everything we see imaginatively also contains a sound. This visual information shows that there is an unbreakable link between our own silence and the sound identity of the city.
Somewhere in the city, the urbanite encounters a technological object made of cork, a natural sound absorbing and insulating material. This sculpture, which is the visual form of sound and silence, creates a new public space by attracting us to itself, just as the sounds of the city unconsciously move us around the city.
