Between Heaven and Harbor is a multimedia installation interwoven with personal experience accompanied
by a sound composition by Hugh Shanahan, forming an immersive environment. The sound expands the visual space into an atmospheric field.

Layers of pre-recorded sound are reattached to new places and memories, creating resonances that transcend origin. 
A lightbox with a photograph of two young girls sitting at a rock pool in the blue mountains placed as the first piece of four.

The video across the room immediately catches the attention, a fleeting moment of lightness, captured in San Diego,

a bird gliding over the water, when suddenly and unexpectedly massive warships enter the frame, disrupting the image.

It is juxtaposed with a large-format photograph print on the wall of a granite rock from Joshua Tree National Park, which I visited around the same time in 2023.

A body shaped by the elements over millions of years, once liquid magma hidden beneath the earth’s surface, now patiently weathered into a spherical form. Yet while one embodies the quiet patience of the elements the other piece represents control and dominance.

The warships, a symbol of human power and ambition, highly armed but ultimately fleeting.

What nature shapes over aeon,
humankind builds up in mere decades.

Resting on a stone that is cut in half by another, the sculpture at the center of the installation is a bronze emblem.

Equipped with wings, Alberti’s winged eye emblem bristles with blood vessels or tentacles.
