A Testimony (Archive sound coil #1) is a Sound Sculpture where the female voice becomes a vessel, carrying the weight of a tumultuous existence, expressed through a series of poignant and evocative moments. The recurring refrain, "Camélia, Camélia, Camélia...", echoes, encapsulating a deep longing and a heartbreaking loss. The protagonist's cry is a visceral expression of an unrealized connection, an echoing plea for someone who seems forever out of reach. The repetition of the name "Duval" punctuates the narrative, underlining a persistent search for answers and meaning in the face of an elusive past. The work reflects on the relentless passage of time, acknowledging the ephemeral nature of memory and the difficulty of maintaining one's own identity amidst life's tumultuous journey. As the sound narrative unfolds, it invites viewers to immerse themselves in a visceral exploration of the human condition."
