Alba Triana‘s work explores the dynamic and interconnected essence of the universe, investigating how vibration, energy, and interaction shape our physical world and human experience. Through immersive environments and sculptures using various forms of vibration and energy—sound, light, electromagnetism—as primary materials, she aims to reveal the imperceptible processes that constitute and connect all forms—living and inert—within a unified, self-organizing universe. Rooted in her background as a composer, her practice approaches sensory experience as an indivisible manifestation of natural activity, dissolving traditional distinctions between disciplines. Guided by principles of chance, these systems, like living organisms, self-generate and evolve autonomously over time. Collaborating with scientists, engineers, and designers, she creates spaces for intellectual and emotional resonance, offering an experience of profound unity.
