Echoes Of Care (2025)
Sound Installation by Setayesh Babaei and Nalobi Zrobe
Text By: Setayesh Babaei
A lingering offering in Nest, Rest, Shadows: Tracing the Echoes of Motherhood. Created in collaboration with Ukrainian composer Nalobi Zrobe, this work blended whispered recitations with an evolving sonic landscape. The poem dissolved into sound, capturing the surreal and intimate nature of caregiving — the echoes of exhaustion, devotion, and the fluidity of time.
The space was enveloped in sound like memory itself—lingering, fading, returning. Visitors were invited to sit, to listen, to be washed over by whispers that blurred presence and absence, past and present, self and other.
