A Flowing Body of Snake

A Flowing Body of Snake2023, SHIFT, Cardiff

A Flowing Body of Snake is an immersive sculptural sound installation that projects vivid recollections of strange encounters, medical examinations and bodily boundaries through an intimate lens of desire, ownership and autonomy.

A non-linear narrative voiced by the artist weaves ancestral memories of former selves and lost languages into a brooding soundscape layered with menacing drones, tense rhythms and fitful echoes. 

Cyclical themes of past lives and rebirth intersect and overlap with recurring motifs of snakes and shedding skin.
