‘Unknown on Play’ is a long-term performative series, a window into the fluid cultural negotiation and interpretation processes. Through the sculpture’s evolving state, ongoing vocal and sound layering performance, conveys identity as perpetually becoming rather than arriving. This is but the prologue - with each new exhibition, we will witness further episodes unveiling new orchestration of materials, seeking to distill cultural fluidity’s ever-emerging nature.

In episode 1 & 2, the piano composition is played in the background during the performance. An under constructing sculpture takes shape, its surface adorned with tools and found objects in early arrangements as a metaphorical instrument board, a canvas for creating raw sounds and vocal layering. The first two episodes commence with the piano recording and the sculpture’s sounds blend and form, blending digital with live sounds. The unfinished sculpture stands, tools partially arranged yet suspended in transition, a testament to the ongoing narrative.

Episode 3 conspicuously left blank, along side with an under constructing sculpture, as a potential for sounds to unfold in the future.
