윤슬 (Ever-Changing)

윤슬(Ever-Changing) is a video artwork, based on an original musical composition of the same name for an 8-key marimba and two of processed field recordings. The video captures shimmering water rippling in motion, visually reflecting the meaning of the title “윤슬”. It displays inventive graphic notation for the marimba, fragments of original poems about water circulation, and visual elements inspired by video editing software. The juxtaposition of the organic, unbroken flow of natural water and the structured, digitally rendered visuals creates a compelling contrast.
