‘I lost my pearl’ is a soundscape for the multimedia installation ‘The Sea’, in dialogue with Helen Oliver Adelson's paintings, at Brick Aux (Brooklyn) in October 2024. The piece draws on symbolism from mythology and her inner world. Alex reflected on contradictory voices, projections and dangers inherent in navigating one’s own psychic depths. In her audiovisual installation, she explored unknowable forces lurking between desire and destruction. Alex developed processes over years of experimenting with domestic, industrial and waste materials to create sculptural objects imbued with symbolic meaning. Her soundscape of treated field, drone and voice recordings adds a sonic atmosphere to the narrative.
