A floating membrane turns environmental data into an encounter at bodily scale. A Bubble combines a suspended moving sculpture, underwater field recordings and projected volumes, responding to live buoy data from the Bay of Valsaline. Visitors lie beneath its changing form. The ocean becomes an unstable presence above the body, inviting a shift from observing an environment to imagining life within it.
