"The sound waves were derived from the sound of Aowing water at Machinchang Geoforest Park in Langkawi Island,Malaysia, recorded using a specturm analyzer. The water Aow produced frequencies around 501 Hz.

In 2025, I embarked on a journey to Langkawi Island, Kedah, Malaysia. While exploring the Machinchang Cambrian Geoforest Park, I began detecting the sound waves of nature using a spectrum analyzer. This experience led me to reflect, ""What is it exactly about nature that makes humans feel calmer?"" After returning from Langkawi, I conducted literature reviews and discovered that sound has a more profound calming effect on humans than visuals. Within the inner ear lies a structure called the cochlea, as vibrations pass through it, ripples are created in the fluid, pushing against a membrane lined with thousands of tiny sensory hair cells. This movement releases electrochemical particles that generate electrical signals, which are then transmitted via the auditory nerve to the brain, triggering motor, physiological, and psychological responses. I reflected further on how most people tend to be more conscious of what is perceived through sight rather than hearing. Could this be because sound is intangible? From these contemplations, I began to explore how to transfigure sound (something invisible, possesses duration, and weightless) into a sculptural form that is visible, solid, and weighted. In the work 501 Hz, I sampled the sound waves of water from a curved section of a river in Machinchang Cambrian. The visual waveform captured on my spectrum analyzer was then frozen into a static, solid sculpture. "
