    Présentation

    In contemporary society, social norms, gender roles, and forms of communal belonging are in constant transformation. These shifts are not only conceptual but deeply embodied: power, inclusion, and exclusion are experienced through posture, gesture, proximity, and affective resonance. At the same time, the increasing reliance on digital communication reduces physical presence and attenuates shared, bodily experience.
    In my work, I explore and render visible this corporeal dimension of social life. Through moving image and choreographic processes developed with participants, I investigate how social structures are inscribed, performed, and transmitted through the body. My work reveals the subtle ways in which collective dynamics take shape in movement, relation, and sensation.
    By engaging both participants and audiences in sensory and affective experiences, my work seeks to foster empathy, deepen social awareness, and cultivate a more nuanced understanding of collective existence. It invites viewers not only to observe, but to feel and reflect on their own embodied position within social systems.
    Ultimately, I propose that societal transformation is not solely discursive, but lived and co-created through the body. My practice offers a reflective and participatory framework of moving image that engages embodiment as a site of social negotiation and potential change.
