below the noise floor
below the noise floor examines movement and change at the threshold of detectability. Borrowing concepts from signal processing, this photographic series considers rocks not as inert objects but as systems continually undergoing micro-adjustments, stresses, and vibrations. Much of this activity exists beyond our perception, obscured not only by environmental noise but by the limits of our attention.
Through the acts of listening and recording, this work questions what is missed when our perception is constrained by thresholds and interference. The images focus on the act of listening, emphasizing the effort required to listen when noise is drowning out the signal.
