Becoming is a kinetic sound sculpture that invites the viewer into an encounter with transformation — a liminal space between states of being: energy into matter, pre-birth into life, chaos into order.

At the center is a Tibetan singing bowl, inside which a piece of volcanic rock is suspended by a thin steel cable. A DC motor mounted near the ceiling slowly turns the rock when a viewer approaches. As the rock rotates and intermittently grazes the interior edge of the bowl, it produces a resonant tone.

The bowl is tuned to D♯ — a frequency associated with transition and renewal. In this context, the sound becomes a threshold: a soft portal between the unseen and the manifest, formlessness and form. Becoming renders the imperceptible moment of change audible — a meditation on emergence, transmutation, and becoming.

The sculpture sits on a pedestal at the center of an enclosed space. The enclosure focuses the sensory experience, enhancing the light and sound.
