With the Vibrating Images series, Nevin Aladağ explores the medium of painting for the first time. Using rectangular wooden bodies, she brings together bold areas of color and various musical instruments. In a silent state, the artworks encourage visual exploration and anticipation of sound. As soon as the wall objects resonate due to the playing of the instruments, the vibration is transmitted from the wall to the space and thus also to the audience.
These hybrid combinations of painting, sculpture, and music set genre boundaries in motion. In this sense, Nevin Aladağ invites the viewer to perceive her artworks holistically.

In combination with organic and geometric shaped areas of color, percussion, wind and string instruments create an artistic experience that goes far beyond mere visual observation. Through the activation of the artworks, the interplay of movement and stillness is enhanced to create an auditory and tactile experience. As soon as musicians play the instruments, not only the objects but also the exhibition space is set into vibration. The sound waves also radiate out into the audience, who become part of the interaction.

In these works, Nevin Aladağ not only plays with the forms and proportions of the instruments, but also, with their enhanced size, reacts to the dimensions of the Exhibition Hall. Thereby, the works become characters in the room that seem to communicate with each other. Even more, they interact with the audience: on the threshold between object and body, they encourage the viewers to imagine their peculiar sound.
