Undercurrent

Created for a two-month exhibition at Method Gallery in Seattle, Undercurrent transforms sound, light, and reflection into an immersive experience. A shallow reflective pool responds to an evolving audio composition, sending ripples across the surface and revealing the subtle, often unseen forces that shape our everyday world.

Custom-programmed DMX lights outline the arch, catching the water’s surface and scattering ripples of light across the room.
A custom soundscape invites viewers into the space, creating an unfamiliar yet intriguing spatial environment.
Four independently wired speakers line the pool, each with a 3D-printed plunger ready to fracture the still surface of the water.

Dance Activation

Accompanied by performers from the Seattle Ballet, Undercurrent served as a host for interdisciplinary artists across a variety of mediums, becoming a hub for local artists.

Behind The Build

The build embraced a restrained material palette of zip ties, raw birch plywood, and concrete pavers, allowing the experience to take center stage. By reducing the architecture to its essentials, the installation invited visitors to focus on the work itself.
