Twin Melody for Music Box (Flowers) is a new interactive work with a hand-cranked music box. I created a strip of xuan paper—layered, distressed, glued, and manually hole-punched—that produces sound when fed through the mechanism, much like a piano roll. Once played to the end, the strip can be flipped and replayed, each direction revealing a mirrored version of the tune, or what I am calling a “twin melody.” Rather than composing in the traditional sense, I traced floral patterns from Weitou architecture and translated them into perforations. In this way, images generate unexpected sounds and blur the boundary between seeing and hearing. Visitors are invited to turn the handle and bring the piece to life.
