Recognition
Poignant moments and key memories act as unconscious forces in our daily lives and may be evoked in unexpected contexts. The essence of memory is irreplicable and yet we cling to it so tightly.
“Recognition” is the first iteration of a larger exploration into memory. This work in progress asks the viewer to consider what happens when individuals experience the same “event” and come away with different recollections. When does personal memory become a selfish barrier to connection with loved ones? Through movement, four figures confront the ephemeral nature of memory amidst conflict and everyday moments in their relationships.
