"I am, I have
I breathe in and out
I own a heart
An ear and an eye
I've only been here one time"
I own a heart
An ear and an eye
I've only been here one time"
The initial inspiration of becoming came from a previous collaboration project with choreographer Asante Parker on her piece Judgement Day. For the first part of Judgement Day, I created abstract silhouettes of the dancers that integrated into the motion of the dance itself. I decided to further expand on this short project, taking inspiration from the dancers’ movement and reconstructing a different narrative from the first song of their dance.
