I invite all of you to re-shape your thoughts, your bodies, and your movements, to invoke all the energy that could be in what we call it now p l a s t I c. Release, and surrender. Breathe.

A person ingests 2 plastic bags per year through microplastics! Every week, an average of 5 grams of plastic ends up in a person’s body. We breathe, eat, and drink water that contains plastic. We are plastic. The premise that drives the artistic process is the deconstruction of analytical and critical thinking, movement, and the reality of the body, the plasticity of the body concerning the properties of plastic materials. With the help of my body, the plastic objects in my home, and new media creations, I invite you to embark on an immersive emotional journey. The world has been seen under a microscope, in detail, the movement of plastic creates suffocation, anxiety, and at times, fascination. I aim to question the plastic crisis and the human crisis. Individual alienation, increased risk of disembodiment and identity loss, corporeal.
