Your Identity is Free, Free Your Identity

2020, The Oracle Gallery, Antwerp

This is how it Feels to Be Free

I use the term ‘identity’ to encompass the unconscious patterns, influenced by external constraints, that shape our sense of self. These repetitive, intricate patterns define who we are. But when we bring them into consciousness and accept them, we make room for new perspectives that liberate our identity.

In the context of the work, the circular movements that unfold in a confined space over the course of 22 minutes challenge the audience. The intensity of the experience may require occasional pauses to allow individuals to turn inward.
