“We do not dance on the earth, but the earth dances us with all its colors.” I woke up from a dream in this image and developed the work I FEEL THE EARTH MOVE from it. Everything liquid, solid, gaseous, even mineral, in their respective aggregate states, connects with the elemental forms of the earth through our bodies. Fields of the seasons become resonating spaces of encounter and generate new forms of movement. Traces become visible. By reading and following these references, we remember the paths we have already taken. We move on, forwards, backwards, into the still unknown, accompanied by the acoustic impulses that expand into the space like an echo.
