The Inciting Incident
The Inciting Incident involves the collision of glass fragments and the resonant vibrations of glass plates at low frequencies. It explores how every story, whether individual or societal, begins with a single point of creation but inevitably encounters moments of transformation. When creation is the opening sentence of the story, considerations of destruction inevitably follow. Within that story, the story of the life is a repeat of destruction and reconstruction unfolding in a perpetual, cycloid motion of renewal. The parallel between the destruction expressed in the stories and that which we encounter in our lives highlights chaos and transformation. As each collision contributes to the ongoing narrative. We are constantly in flux, undergoing change and growth from this ongoing dialogue between creation and collapse.
