Through the Static examines the fragile intersection of signal and silence, music and machinery. At its heart, a lone clarinet key rests beneath a vintage optical lens, reframing a device of expression as a relic of distortion. Set against a stormy red backdrop of layered vintage newsprint and cracked resin textures, the composition feels like a broadcast interrupted—emotion muffled beneath the weight of interference. This work invites viewers to peer into the void between what was said and what was lost in translation.
