A microphone hangs from the ceiling, inviting visitors to interact. When a breath is blown into it, the light shifts—changing slowly from red to blue. This transformation symbolizes the shared nature of breath and the possibility of regeneration through connection. Even when something is broken or fragmented, it can be restored through relational and social bonds.
Breathing is something we do without conscious awareness, which often leads us to forget how precious it is. Through engaging with the installation via breath, this unconscious act is brought to the surface, transforming what is usually invisible and taken for granted into something felt, seen, and shared.
By rendering breath both as a fleeting trace and an act of survival, Resonair blurs the boundary between visibility and erasure. It reminds us that breath, though invisible, must not be taken for granted—and that ignoring air pollution is ignoring the very basis of our existence.
