Silent Resonance
Silent Resonance is a design research project that investigates and challenges our preconceptions of nature's norms. Central to the work is an exploration of 'How important are natural sounds to our life?' I draw from a fascinating yet deeply overlooked notion within ecological thinking, 'Shifting Baseline Syndrome', to uncover this terrain. The latter is a phenomenon that shows the gradual decline of collective memory and experience concerning the norm of nature as species gradually disappear.
The research is synthesised through interdisciplinary discovery, ecology and wildlife & environmental sounds archiving. The insights discovered in the research process and stakeholder interviews are developed to create design deliverables that respond to the gradually diminishing natural soundscape specifically associated with beaver extinction and reintroduction in London, UK.
The outcome present ceramic vases, which serve as an artefact of ecological change and the medium to engage audiences in a broader discourse on environmental issues by developing it through design.
