In Klangfärbung I, I wanted to capture the physical weight of a melody as it moves through space. The title refers to 'tone color' or timbre—the unique quality of a sound that distinguishes it from others.

I approached the paper with a single, breath-held gesture. I wanted the ink to act like a resonance, flowing from a deep, concentrated core into lighter, fading echoes. The script alongside the central form is my way of 'writing' the sound—it is a visual language that speaks of rhythm and cadence rather than words. For me, this piece is about the silence that exists just before and after a sound is made. It is an attempt to freeze a fleeting auditory moment into a permanent visual harmony, allowing the viewer to 'see' the frequency of a thought as it unfurls across the page
