# Project Description Echoes of Erosion Dana Aben Summary Final work I'm from London, and my practice is deeply rooted in observing the minutiae of everyday life — the overlooked details that quietly shape our surroundings.

College School of Pre-Degree Studies Course UAL Foundation Diploma in Art and Design Graduation year 2025 'Echoes of Erosion' is a sensory-led exploration of time, touch, and transformation, where sound and decay intertwine to sculpt form. Rooted in the slow violence of erosion and the fleeting rhythms of sonic vibration, this project captures nature’s quiet language: the whisper of rusting metal, the rhythm of wind against concrete, the soft collapse of worn fabric. Inspired by both natural and urban decay, the work draws from spectrograms of environmental sound, translating frequencies into textures, colours, and material shifts. Copper becomes a conductor of memory; its weight grounding the body, its surface scorched by heat in response to unseen vibrations. Fabric is distressed, and fragmented—designed not to last, but to change, to fade, to echo. Every process is intentional yet passive, letting nature leave its mark. Through this slow choreography of erosion, garments become vessels of impermanence, revealing the tension between fragility and endurance. ' Echoes of Erosion ' is not about preserving beauty, but about surrendering to its loss—and finding meaning in the residue it leaves behind.
