Honors in Music Thesis:
- Dysmorphia: A Liquification of Body and Sound
My thesis project Dysmorphia: A Liquification of Body and Sound was intended to be a large-scale installation of sculpture, light, and sound, that was due to take place in Studio 3 at the Granoff Center on the weekend of April 3rd. Conceptually and aesthetically, the piece was meant to be a visual and sonic abstraction of feelings of dysmorphia: misperception, distortion, and scrutiny of a physical body. The forms of the sculptures–the central element of the installation–were born out of dysmorphic descriptions of one’s own body: blob-like, lumpy, jelly. I noticed that a lot of the nomenclature surrounding “undesirable” bodies in our culture centers around losing their shape, getting soft, or “turning into a blob,” which when taken to an extreme, made me think about turning into a pile of liquid, or what it would be like to bring life to an inanimate pile of liquid.
