Notes of Care (2025)
a sound film presented by Music For Your Inbox
in collaboration with Ilana Waniuk
In collaboration with Ilana Waniuk, this work explores the practice of care as its central theme. The musical score integrates textual and visual elements, detailing various gestures and measurements of care. During the creative process, I was thinking about resilience in both physical and mental aspects, and the process of healing, nurturing, and growing. Visually, the human spine emerges as a recurring motif, symbolizing strength, fragility, and continuity. This imagery is woven throughout the score and mirrored in the projected visuals of the film.

For the film’s visuals, Ilana performs with two overlapping overhead projectors, layering photographs, silhouettes, prisms, liquid, and glass to visualize care through light, reflection, and transparency. Her hands—visible as she tends and shapes the imagery in real time—recur alongside the spine as visual and conceptual anchors, connecting care to the physical body as structure, site of vulnerability, and conduit for growth. Through this intertwining of media, the artists invite a sensory awareness of care as something cultivated through personal connection and attentive presence.
