It is a draw.

Sound sculpture, 2026

 

When a hook hanging from the strap of a backpack worn by someone walking down the stairwell of a building accidentally strikes the railing, the sound makes two people on opposite sides of the wall aware of each other’s presence. A person inside a nearby apartment hears the sound and becomes aware of someone passing by in the stairwell. At the same time, the person in the stairwell realizes that the sound may have carried through the nearby door and into the apartment.
