I hear, I heard, I am listening explores the transitory paths of myself and my family across time, borders, and cultures.

The soundmounds scattered through the hotel room are physical manifestations of soundwaves sourced from homes, voices, and sites that exist in-between the binary extremes of belonging and nonbelonging of myself.

The amalgamation of soundmounds represent the fluxual convergence and divergence of my personal and familial memories across the globe, and protean states of existence, and formation of identity. 

In an untraditional use of rice paper, our understanding of material as static is subverted, embodying the concepts of flux and multitudes explored in this paper. 

The fragile soundmounds sit vulnerably in the trail of the footsteps of the artist, tracing my inhabitance of the room. The hotel room - a liminal space, and a nomadic home, becomes a host to cross-cultural and cross-continental dialogues.
