Performance and Video

One night I was home alone and feeling lonely. It was around Christmas. I had been thinking a lot about the choices we make in our inner spiritual world of emotions. I knew then that I was ready to admit that had an attachment to my own pain and chaos, a sort of gravity I had no control over emotionally, such as gravity scientifically speaking in itself is nothing any human can control. This gravity was a personal metaphor, basically like a love affair with pain. My own addiction to emotional pain, was curiously an addiction rooted in the most sincere desire to change., eventually, finding myself becoming vulnerable and raw in front of a camera for the world to see became that bond between your perceived self and your true self, that moment when the world finally makes sense.

I then had an innate feeling that I should use my own body as a medium to initiate the change. “Love Affair” is about choosing to release the old and being open to what comes next. I then put a camera on a tripod, held lights in my hands, felt compelled to be naked and vulnerable and moved my body. The experience I had was internally visceral, beautiful and transformative. Performance using my body and soul became a powerful catalyst for change.

Upon release, magic happens, light appears, something foreign yet welcoming comes into your world,. A worthy concept to explore.
