This sculptural installation consists of porcelain elements connected through a system of tubes. It functions as an interactive object, inviting visitors to speak into it and listen, thereby creating a shared network of voices.

The porcelain forms recall everyday vessels such as bowls or medical containers, while also pointing to both the fragility and resilience of the material. Through their connection, they become an instrument that enables collective practices of speaking and listening. In societies where queer bodies and marginalised communities are increasingly subject to violence and silencing, the work understands these interactions as acts of care and resistance. Over time, the installation symbolically gathers voices and stories, becoming a living archive.

The installation explores how practices of care, listening and embodied presence can operate as political acts, enabling collective forms of resilience and freedom.
