The fictional text* is an impulse for a facial exploration and interpretation of meaning.
The process of transformation of mediums (text to facial or vocal exploration) is inspired by the philosophy of butoh embodiment. By isolation specific body parts (such as the face) I explore the thought as a physical exercise and choreographic structure.
I apply a similar intuitive approach to the process in a further transformation of video documentation. I create photographic sculptural portraitures.

During the vocal improvisations, the body is connected to charcoal and a paper.
Body, as a medium through which sound meets vision and explores the visibility of the space between sound and stillness.
Intuitive explorations of sound through the body's movement transform into images and later into three-dimensional sculptures.

transforms the digital to tangible or two-dimentional to sculptural
backwards and forwards
interests and inspires in its potential to inexhaustibility
