Contant Reflections,
Video Performance, 2014

The formation of self is cultivated by the negotiation of what is visible and what is invisible. The need to be mirrored, and the ongoing necessity of a reflection, is crucial in order to preserve and to construct an internal dialogue that affirms the various identities, which construct the self. This introspective dialogue projects an idea of the internal conflict through a physical self and acts as a bridge between the visible and invisible.

Constant Reflections is a performative video installation that reflections an internal rhythm. The rhythm of our self is visible through a physical presence with others. This essential experience forms the structure for human interactions and likeness. The physical presence of an other acts as an internal mirror: a person projecting onto another is sanctuary to the feelings of connectedness. Through empathy we are able to introspectively integrate that understanding of another person’s experience with our own. This reflectiveness of the self is the most integral notion of association and responsibility we have to one another, and for one another. Mirroring and reflecting creates a rhythm for a song that we all dance too. This rhythm is not always heard or seen but inhabits in the experience of our presence.
