2025, Video and soundscape

Submerged landscapes and explorations of the subconscious: multilayered, hidden, and complex, like a cave system. Nine Entrances is composed of underwater recordings from nine distinct cenotes across Mexico’s Yucatán Peninsula. The footage focuses on the movement of water, suspended particles, textures of stone, and shifting light, while the accompanying sound composition is built entirely from recordings taken at the locations, capturing the natural resonance of each cenote. These unaltered sounds form a spatial soundscape that merges environmental documentation with composed layering, without the addition of external instruments or effects.

Cenotes are natural sinkholes formed by the collapse of limestone bedrock. They are widespread across the Yucatán Peninsula in Mexico and are typically categorized as open, semi-open, or closed. Beyond their geological significance, cenotes held spiritual and cultural importance for the Maya. They were seen as sacred sites and symbolic gateways.
