Ben Le’ven (In Between): An exploration of textile music and light within a liminal space
Ben Le’ven evokes a dwelling that is at once fragile and radiant, like the sukkah standing under open skies. Here, the light is gentle; the room breathes; and the textile is a tent of soft sounds. With bands of conductive paint that activate with human touch to play music composed specifically for this space. 
This piece is a collaboration with Yuval Gur, RISD D+M MFA 2026.
