Your Identity is Free, Free Your Identity

2020, The Oracle Gallery, Antwerp

This is how it Feels to Be Free

Our sense of self is shaped by patterns we do not consciously choose. They emerge in response to external constraints and quietly organise how we move, perceive and relate. By observing and accepting them, space opens up for shifts in perspective, allowing identity to loosen and reconfigure.

The performance consists of circular movements within a confined space over twenty-two minutes, engaging the audience and challenging their perception of presence. The intensity of the experience may require occasional pauses, enabling individuals to turn inward and reflect.
