In her artistic practice, Brittny B. Baab is perpetually chasing a feeling she can’t quite name, but instantlyrecognizes when it arrives—a feeling not unlike tasting a triple-cream French cheese at the perfect roomtemperature.With the heart of an artist and the brain of a neuroscientist, her work often begins with self-made rules andquiet challenges—puzzles she invents and then insists on solving without cutting corners.Her piece for the Tacoma Light Trail, Universal Language, uses small flashing points of light to move fromchaos into clarity: the words “universal” and “language” emerge, anchored by glowing musical symbols.The work reflects her belief that music is truly borderless, capable of unifying people where words fail.Brit hopes viewers feel something instinctive and inexplicable, the way a melody can move someone totears before they understand why.
