Art Sound Now, the acclaimed series that pairs sound artists with art from the Walters Art Museum. Reid was drawn to these four reliefs in the Ancient Near East gallery of the Walters. Her work for this performance explores themes of destruction and destabilization of foreign countries caused by the United States through electronic music and projections by Jose Rosero. Sonically, she samples a poem by Waqia Abdul-Kareem written for the piece and the sound of glass using contact microphones and effects paired with synthesized rhythms and melodies.
