Alba Triana - Music on a Bound String series 2015-2020

For years Alba Triana has pursued her interest in how nature intrinsically operates, by creating artworks that contemplate the natural world at a micro, intangible level. Triana refers to these pieces as deep observations of nature, as they promote a sense of connection, and a profound identification with the fundamental elements that animate and connect us.

Today we present the Music on a Bound String Series, a cycle of works exploring vibration—behaviors and interactions among visible-sound and light waves. In these pieces, Alba composes complex, abstract narratives, guided by her musical background. By manipulating wave properties, rhythms, and textures over time, she seeks to unveil fundamental truths that have always determined who we are, how we live, and what we do.
