While language in civilization has evolved to identify and describe, this work turns toward the power of pre-linguistic utterance—a form of expression that does not rely on meaning.
The central motif—a glass overflowing with water—serves as a metaphor for a moment in which the boundary between self and other dissolves.
Through a three-day participatory process, visitors experienced forms of non-symbolic utterance—shouts, tears, laughter—shared and embodied without the need for interpretation.
If “to speak” is an expression of subjective freedom, then “to feel something unspeakable together” is a manifestation of a resonant relationship. This practice aimed to reconstruct the notion of “relationship” through a return to primordial communication—a search for proof of being, found in the echo between self and other.
