I am incredibly proud to announce that my sculpture, 'Resonance,' has been selected for this year’s Royal Academy Summer Exhibition.

At some point, we may have entered a room, corridor, hall, or square and felt something distinctly captivating but hard to describe. This piece, ‘Resonance,’ reflects on one of the most fundamental human experiences — how a space makes us feel — sometimes without even realising it.

With this in mind, ‘Resonance’ serves as a monolithic reinterpretation of Leighton House’s ‘Arab Hall,’ focusing on light, form, and volume. It explores the ability of spaces and objects to evoke atmospheres and profound emotional responses, or in other words, to resonate with us.

The sculpture is part of a broader project stemming from my Master’s thesis, “Spaces of Resonance,” which raises questions about the extent to which our experience of space is both subjective and shared.

This thesis investigated the concept of 'resonance' in architecture across various cultures, styles, and historical periods, seeking ways to intentionally design the atmospheres that shape our neighborhoods and cities today.
