The Noise Will Sound presents a new body of work by Brendan Fernandes that considers the relationship between sound, visibility, and abstraction. Through layered textiles, fragmented figures, and film photography, the exhibition explores how noise can exist beyond the audible, emerging instead as something visual, embodied, and deeply felt. For Fernandes, noise is both a formal and political condition. It prompts questions about who is heard, who is overlooked, and who determines the difference between signal and disruption. Within his new series of photographic works shot on film titled Noise See, fragmented bodies dissolve into patterned compositions, creating moments of visual dissonance that challenge perception and invite sustained looking. The photographs ask viewers to consider not only what they see, but what they imagine they hear. Balancing movement and stillness, presence and disappearance, The Noise Will Sound reflects Fernandes' ongoing interest in the tension between the desire to be seen and the impulse to remain unseen. Here, noise becomes a gesture of protest as readily as one of care, while silence is revealed not as its opposite, but as an equally expressive force. Brendan Fernandes (b.
