When one thing shifts, so does everything else. Something simple. Something mythological. Something about the weight of each gesture. Something about the ways that forces form bodies.

A study in walking and weight-distribution, thinking about how we move with what we must carry, heaviness and lightness, light and dark, and the shifting perception of time. Tuning into micro movements, the subconscious pull marking the beginning of a feeling connects multiple cycles both internal and external.

Working with the detail of sensory experience, When we speak I feel myself, Opening seeks to give voice to sensations and impulses as they rise to the surface.
