In the fast-paced rhythm of contemporary life, deep and intimate conversation between two people has become increasingly difficult. I seek to create a space that invites closeness by constructing a sculptural speaking trumpet —objects designed for whispering. Through quiet speech, participants are encouraged to share secrets and deepen mutual understanding. As it rotates and rises or falls, the act of communication becomes playful and engaging, yet gradually more challenging over time. This shifting physical interaction mirrors the fragility and effort required to truly listen and be heard. If it were you, what would you choose to whisper to the ones you love?
