Oh Mrs. Dalloway, always giving parties to cover the silence

This project, which I began in 2019 and completed in 2021, is a fully realized artistic endeavor for which I retain all rights. It features a rich tapestry of ambient and experimental sounds, free improvisation, and heavy, dissonant noises designed to evoke discomfort in the audience.

Inspired by the struggles faced by women and children in society, this work serves as a profound commentary on these issues. My aim is to raise awareness and encourage reflection, ultimately fostering a dialogue that can lead to positive change in the world.
