In September 2025, I collaborated with the exceptional guitarist Florian Magnus Maier to activate a live portal into the SellFable Universe—the shadowed, cinematic realm where identity, and reality blur, offering escapism to a society hurtling blindly toward the future.

My charcoal drawings, , transformed the ancient medium into a living soundscape—where the raw, tactile strokes of charcoal became sonic waves, to forge an . The result was a raw, energetic convergence of art and sound, experienced in real time by an unsuspecting audience consisting of the station’s passersby and travellers.
To anchor the experience in the SellFable mythos, I carried my SellFable suitcase—both artifact and invitation—while “tickets” were offered to passersby, framing their presence as part of the journey.

For those familiar with the SellFable language, these elements offered a coded narrative, adding depth and mystery to the visual experience.

The residue of the experience lingers: the hum of the vortex, the tension between control and improvisation, and the to transport us—if only briefly—beyond the everyday.
