Pedro Sousa - Hero image

Across form, sound, and language, I work with structure as meaning—sometimes building it to function, other times breaking it open to reveal what it leaves in us: exhaustion, control, and the slow erosion of attention.

My practice lives in that tension, where precision meets noise, and construction becomes a way of seeing.
