Fluid Frequencies: A Video Immersion reimagines my personal relationship with water through a dynamic multi-sensory video experience. Water has shaped much of my life, from lake days at camp to sailing, skiing, and fueling tennis matches. This piece translates those memories into an expressive audiovisual form.

The video presents dual perspectives that reveal both a participant's external movement and the internal world they navigate, emphasizing how interaction shapes the composition. The four spheres' initial arrangement echoes the geometry of the water molecule, providing a sense of structure before dissolving into fluid motion. Spatial audio, sourced from a rainstorm I recorded and re-composed through sound design, surrounds the participant, creating a soundscape that expands and contracts with each shift in the visual composition.

Throughout the piece, the participant moves from drifting through individual spheres to gliding down a tunnel-like formation where distinct tones collide, overlap, and refract. The spheres eventually merge into a single vibrating form, briefly unifying all harmonics, before returning to the molecular configuration, inviting viewers to sense water's serenity, tension, and infinite expressive potential.
