A scene unfolds across these four drawings: singers rehearse for an opera. Some are already dressed in costumes, while others remain in everyday clothing, caught in the threshold of transformation as they prepare to step into character. Presented as CD covers inserted into their jewel cases, this series transforms the CD case into a transgressive frame — at once an archival object, a protective shell, and also, a stage.
