Yara Said’s (Damascus, Syria, 1991) Visual Poems is a collection of short films that investigates love, loss, trauma and everyday objects in relation to sound and memory. It attempts to create an environment where all these elements can exist organically without the disturbance of the outside world. The sound of the image, the language and the active act of listening that is encouraged through the slow layout of the video allows the spectator to construct their own narrative of the dreamy sequences they are looking at. For Sonic Failure: glass sculpture, Said investigated the qualities of light that shines through glass. By hanging them on and above eye level, the visitor is encouraged to walk around them and to change their perspective.
