Through video documented performance, I integrate my own body, stripped of societal influence and cultural identifiers, into natural spaces. I harness the presence of my body through meditation and intuitive movement, with every gesture being influenced by my surroundings. Within the videos, my body visually emerges and disappears into the landscape, blurring the line between human and nature.
The performance piece is part of the exhibition 'Light Body' that seeks to rekindle physical and spiritual connections that ground all sentient beings to the Earth. Each medium used investigates a different approach to reconnecting to nature. The artworks confront the modern day separation of human existence from the Earth by drawing similarities between the human form and the beautiful intricacies of natural spaces. This exhibit allows us to engage in meaningful dialogue with nature to understand the consciousness that flows through all things. By empathizing with the forms of nature, we are able to reevaluate both the relationships we hold with Earth and the actions we take to protect it.
