Residual Noise
A figure sits with their back to us, listening.
Before them, the land stretches wide and patient — earth, hills, sky — carrying histories older than transmission. Beside them, a small screen hums softly, spilling color without language, signal without destination.
Residual Noise is about what lingers after the message has passed. It is the echo of inherited voices, broken broadcasts, ancestral memory interrupted by modern static. The chair feels ceremonial, almost domestic, placed carefully on dust that refuses to be tamed. Here, technology does not dominate; it merely intrudes, unsure of its place.
This work speaks to an African present suspended between reception and remembrance — between what is received and what is remembered in the body. The landscape listens back in silence. The screen offers no answers. What remains is attention, waiting, and the quiet hum of unresolved meaning.
In the end, Residual Noise is not sound, but presence — the space where memory, land, and signal overlap, and refuse to fully align.
