1. Peles.

synopsis:
SKINs.
There are thin layers. Some full, others empty. Full of me. And empty of me too.
Maybe I lost myself and found myself so many times.
I look for intermediate tones and invisible gestures. That spring from the fresh and charged trace of what was.
Then I fill in synchronous words, the dark and the light.
In the water and in the air, I dive and sweat.
And when unfolded, the clean skin echoes and free sings to the earth.
Entirely resignify.
What was once dust is now a star.

2. The view from Halfway Down

synopsis: 
Singing birds
laughing bees
tears of joy,
the angel forgot their wings.
Suddenly they're flying
soon, they're asfalt bound.
what goes up may never come down
what comes down may colour their teeth
Does it look how it feels?

4. YAGORIA

synopsis: 
An ecopoetic statement on the collective relationship with the environment,
YAGORIA draws attention to abusive deforestation, plastic waste, and pollution.
Reinstantiating the figure of Baba Yaga and drawing from local traditions of
apotropaic practices and eco-spirituality, Yagoria reclaims Ritual as a means to
re-establish a more profound and reflexive relationship with the “interconnected
real”. It explores three sites of tension between pristine/natural systems and
abusive human intervention, where the body acts as a territory for the
inter-dance between equilibrium and disruption.
