In his artist statement, Ligel explains that he is continually exploring the different ways that sound can be visually interpreted and represented. His work is focused on the relationship between sound and its graphical/visual representations, which is an ongoing process. He also uses the concept of transmediation to further explore ideas related to sound. Through experimentation with various materials, he aims to capture the emotional, physical, spiritual, and psychological impact of living in our world. Ligel's work is influenced by his personal identity, interests, and reflections on social commentary, which are concealed within his musical notations developed since his youth.
