HORIZON performed at PICA’s TBA 2025 + Whitman College Artist Series 2026

HORIZON
The perceived line where sky meets earth—a locator in constant motion.  

Horizon is a dance. In this dance, we move with a porous body within a porous performance space. We reside in a shifting landscape of attention. We shift attention between seeking, dispersing, and disappearing.  

Horizon is a constant reshaping of relationships between sculpture and sound, light, bodies and space, forming and reforming islands of kinship and sentiment. There is an opening, a slit, a crack that allows for new iterations of togetherness to emerge. As we rest in this togetherness, lines are blurred between the animate and inanimate. It is a precarious state of becoming. Becoming a rock. Becoming a cloud. A sculpture becoming a body. A body becoming a vessel. A light wave becoming a rainbow. There is a silver lining here. A tangle of impulse, of nerve endings, of charged particles in motion. 

Horizon is loose in identity, sharp in perception.
