Mother Godde—A Ritual of Lament

A journey into pain and loss through the eyes of the divine, which explores the concept of divinity as undeniably feminine and as a grief-stricken parent. This exploration of heartbreak is illustrated by a lone figure performing a solitary ritual in the barren desert.

Wasserstille—A Ritual of Rest

A gentle dance between the divine and nature, celebrating the body and the beauty of rest. An exploration of fluidity and of identity beyond binaries.
