Étude nO.1
étude nO.1 focuses on cycles of transformation, metamorphosis, renewal and reconstruction. The central axis of reflection revolves around the resilience and impermanence of the human condition. Guided by the sensory and dynamic dialogue between emotions and bodily responses, the movement is crafted in pursuit of a total and sensitive physical commitment. The body then becomes the communicator of the intangible.
