MELT is composed of recordings of different stages of ice melting, moving from violent sounds of ice caps grinding against each other, to trickling sequences and flows of water.
Using sound insulation materials as partitions, audience will have different experience in front of each partitions.
Before leaving into a corridor made of sound proof material to refresh hearing system.

Light Connection
Privacy is unique in New York, and it's important to have your own place in a crowded high-rise. The aim of the project was to connect two separate homes using natural light, which is particularly important in the context of New York's high rises, and to bring more natural light into the interior space as the main aim. Secondly, the use of natural light to connect the two independent homes can not only retain enough privacy for each, but also serve as the connection medium.
