CAVITIES

Piano-trio-in-five-movements and video

collaboration with Niloufar Nourbakhsh

Cavities is a piano trio that integrates interactive visual, sonic, and musical elements, unfolding across five movements that explore displacement. The piece serves as a collaborative dialogue between sound and image, memory and document, and the spoken and unspoken sensations of belonging. Cavities aims to evoke the embodied journey of the displaced while simultaneously questioning the (im)possibility of representation itself.

In an era of mass displacement, where borders and the politics that shape them grow increasingly complex, pervasive, and urgent—where borders divide, scar, segregate, and uproot—Cavities seeks to slow time and act as a metonym, offering fragmented glimpses into some of the geographical root causes.
