Inspired by the unsettling beauty of oil slicks drifting across ocean surfaces, the project explores the paradox of “beautiful destruction.” The iridescent colors of contamination create an alluring surface that conceals ecological death. I wanted to create an immersive experience that does not merely represent this contradiction but makes it viscerally felt. Combining field recordings from Icelandic shorelines, underwater ambiences, and real news footage of oil spills, I built a spatial soundscape that shifts between sorrow and detachment. The accompanying visuals—stylized, almost painterly images of polluted seas—reinforce the tension between seduction and horror.

“Fading Blue represents a turning point in my creative practice—where sound is no longer a supporting layer to the visual, but the narrative core itself. This work signals my shift from designing sound to thinking with sound: as a spatial, emotional, and conceptual storyteller. My time at RCA has challenged me to reframe sonic practice not just as an atmospheric tool, but as the primary voice driving meaning, memory, and immersion.”
