The work is an artistic intervention in public space through which I explore the intersections of mental and physical space, as well as personal and shared space, within a collective public environment. The piece originates from moments of profound happiness I have experienced in urban landscapes, accompanied by music and movement—moments I longed to celebrate through dance, yet felt restrained by unspoken norms governing how one is expected to move in public space.
Through this work, I seek to stretch beyond feelings of self-consciousness and to share these moments with others in a carnivalesque way, within urban landscapes I experience as aesthetically meaningful. By temporarily suspending everyday norms of behavior, the work opens a small pocket of spatial freedom, proposing public space as a site for embodied presence, shared experience, and spatial justice understood as the right to move, feel, and be seen on one’s own terms.
