An Awkward Friend
An Awkward Friend is an attempt to re-enchant what has been lost in the aftermath of loss. Set between imaginary collision landscapes, the fragmentary narratives revolve around peculiar characters. They summon angels, ghosts, and reapers as beings to become. Their encounters strive to uncover what has not yet been revealed to them.
Drawing inspiration from the strange and the fantastical, the piece sparks contemplation on the nature of loss and memories blending humour and melancholy. The piece explores the traces left behind, serving as tangible testimonies of the presence of absence. The audience is invited to reflect on how we maintain relations with what has vanished, and how these memories affect us as we go along.

when ashes spiral
When ashes spiral, the human self is decentered into a transformative realm - a liminal environment where fluid beings rise, linger, and collapse. This cycle of transformation travels through states of detachment in mind and body. We engage in an animistic outlook in an attempt to free the fixed self to become multiple and changing. Rigid social constructions become watery and energies flow through different forms. How can we seep through the containers of our skin? When seeing the animate and the inanimate as a spectrum, what drifts in between? We celebrate impermanent natures and fleeting identities.
