This work explores the complex interaction between the human body and the landscape\u2014a space where forces of connection, movement, and layered human interests intersect. The contact between stone and skin becomes a site where perception is not only seen but physically felt, and where agency flows in both directions.<\/p>\n
Stone and human\u2014two bodies, two entities. One considers itself alive and organic, and regards the other as inert and lifeless.<\/p>\n
Can stones teach us how to be better humans?<\/i>
\n<\/i>The mind of this project touches the bonds between humans and the earth, grounded in attentiveness to material and ecological realities: the texture of matter, the agency of time, and the quiet turbulence of place. Its hands trace how land, time, and human presence fold into one another, layered with intention and meaning. Its body reflects on our relationality with the more-than-human\u2014encountering that other without othering. It searches for a restless safety and an urgent calmness found in the encounter between geological \u201ceternity\u201d and human impermanence\u2014grappling with both blissful insignificance and haunting harmful impactfulness.<\/p>\n
The artistic research explores beyond-disciplinary possibilities of a potential participatory performance, collaborating with the landscape and its elements. It is composed in a conversation between movement\u2014whether intentional or organically formed\u2014object animation and being animated by objects, and; morphed texts that uncover poetry in geological descriptions and factuality rooted in the imaginary.<\/p>\n
