Quack Quack (Duck-Shaped Gramophone)

This sculptural hybrid—part bird, part brass instrument—turns the act of listening into a physical body, its swollen, polished volume holding light like a muted breath. The sinuous neck conducts the eye from the grounded, webbed feet to the flared bell, where sound feels poised to erupt yet remains suspended in gleaming silence. By fusing anatomy with apparatus, the work proposes communication as both instinct and invention, a playful totem that quietly questions whether we speak from nature, from culture, or from the resonant space between.
