Decypher is a sound and light installation set in an imagined future, decoding echoes of sentient life that once inhabited the universe and looking back at a future that could have been. Light moves through nested geometric shapes, a tesseract, and leaves the empty space between them, square frustums waiting to be filled with sound.

It was shown at Silver Hayes, Glastonbury Festival, in June 2023 and at Arch 444 in London, and installed and filmed at The Cause, London, in February 2024. Sound design is by Sigha.
