This performance video unfolds like a quiet ritual.
It started as something simple: a person dancing with their shadow.
But the more I watched it, the more it felt like a conversation,
a gentle back-and-forth between two parts of the same body.
One that stays, and one that slips away.

There’s no music, no ending, no beginning.
Just slow movement, repetition, presence.
Sometimes the shadow merges with the figure, sometimes it pulls away.
It’s not always clear who is leading and who is following.

Filmed in silence and designed to loop, the piece doesn’t seek resolution.
It lingers in the act itself, fragile, meditative, like breathing or remembering.

As with my other work, this piece explores identity as something layered, unstable, intimate.
A body becomes a mark, a movement, a memory caught in the light.
A dance that keeps happening, even when no one is watching.
