Statement

I have spent many years immersed in both physics and music, especially playing the cello. I am deeply interested in expressing the beauty of data and science through sound and visual media. Numbers, scientific principles, and natural laws serve as rich sources of inspiration for my creative work. By translating abstract structures into musical and visual forms, I aim to create artistic experiences that connect intellectual understanding with emotional resonance.

Watch

This film was inspired by the long-term movements of stock prices and how they can be reinterpreted as music. Each data point from 1980 to 2025 is mapped to a musical pitch and rhythm, translating financial patterns into sound. Mathematics lies at the heart of this process. The visual element displays these structures through graph-based animation synchronized with the audio. This film is unique in that it transforms abstract economic data into an emotional and artistic experience, bridging quantitative logic and intuitive perception.
