Agatha's Secret

I created this animation using the black-and-white gouache paintings from my Encephalic Cleansing series. The individual frames were constructed with layers in Photoshop and then imported into iMovie.

The beginning of the song, including its first few lines, came to me in a dream. Upon waking, I vividly recalled the atmosphere and translated my perceptions into music as the foundation for this piece. I also dreamed of a magical silver dress.

The Unbelievable Truth




This song is the result of encounters I experienced in the dream state, a place that feels profoundly real to me. As always, I strive to bring the subconscious realm to life by capturing the essence of my inner world through the medium of music.




I found them painting clouds, they said it was easy
Then I was laying down, I was having the time of my life
Listening to the owls

I watched you get undressed, your body is a space gate
How many times did I take my face off?
It may not meld back on

There's an owl on the roof beckoning to me
Goddess of the trees
Reach out for what you love, it's reaching back for you
It's the unbelievable truth

We try to resist, civil unrest at our fingertips
You know, people live life times the way you sleep
Come to in my arms, come to

There's an owl on the roof beckoning to me
Goddess of the trees
Reach out for what you love, it's reaching back for you
It's the unbelievable truth

To discern the precinct of truth, it is essential to nurture a fluent dialogue with the subconscious. By cultivating a heightened awareness of intuitive feelings—paired with curiosity and belief in the imagery and sensory episodes delivered in the dream state, one can discover an authentic affinity with the world.

Butoh

Recently, I had the privilege of documenting Marie-Gabrielle Rotie's Butoh class. Capturing the sculptural forms shaped by the dancers, I was deeply moved by the poignant elegance of their serene surrender to gravity.


"Butoh is an act of transformation, a process by which the performer 
searches for a state of becoming."
