I am intrigued by how the human body stores and expresses our lived experiences. Far from being passive recipients of trauma or joy, our bodies may act as active participants in the telling of our stories. I reject the notion that the body merely holds memories; instead, I believe it could be a dynamic vessel for truth. Stress might manifest in the shoulders as a weight, and sadness may surface in the eyes that no longer meet the world.
Emotions that seem to stay hidden, perhaps are trapped in the body’s language. When words fall short of capturing the complexity of human experience, I believe it is the muscles, skin, and bones that might hold the key, speaking through movement and subtle gestures. My artistic research explores the ways my body might communicate these lived experiences, uncovering the truths that reside deep within. At times, my movement reflects divine expressions God could be communicating through me. The dance form foundational in my work is Krump—the acronym for “Kingdom Radically Uplifted Mighty Praise," a street dance that has helped me explore spirituality through movement. Improvisation and freestyle are integral to my process, as I am deeply curious about the body’s raw, unspoken language.
My work is rooted in four core principles: rawness, discovery, individuality, and spirituality, which have gradually emerged through my artistic practice and journey. To me, movement as physical expression offers a way to unlock deeper understandings of ourselves. Through my work, I hope to invite others to explore the unspoken, to reflect on the truths that may lie hidden within, and to engage with movement as a possible conduit for healing, expression, and transformation.
