Elegies of Sanctity

Elegies of Sanctity I is a mixed-reality 6DoF VR experience built from visits to 12 ruined churches. It invites audiences to move through these spaces—where architecture and nature merge—and reflect on time, decay, and the trace of spiritual history.

Original score across four scenes, designed for headset immersion. The music builds a navigable sonic landscape with spatial sound that creates tactile, body-level sensation. Inspired by binaural field recording (not ASMR), psychoacoustic techniques increase depth, proximity, and presence while staying aligned with the visual language.
