Vessel began in 2008 as a personal survival tool - a system for navigating the first manic episode of a bipolar diagnosis. What started as an attempt to map the interior landscape of that experience became a fifteen-year compositional project: an immersive work for live musicians, conductor, antique boxes, and illuminated glass jars.
 

Audiences are not passive observers. Opening a box, lifting a lid, placing an object - each gesture triggers a live musical response, making every person who enters the space a co-creator of the soundscape. The result places the audience inside a navigable emotional landscape of sound, color, and form, moving through states that range from stillness to intensity, grief to release.
 

The work maps the full spectrum of bipolar experience onto musical and visual form - not as illustration, but as architecture. It is one of the most conceptually ambitious works at the intersection of neuroscience, music, and visual art.
