Out of Focus
01. 2025
Performance
The performance explores symbols whose meanings have faded, shifted, and intertwined over time. At its heart is the Celtic triskelion, an ancient sign of continuous movement and change. It reflects on how our perception can blur, how focus drifts, and how reality can feel almost hypnotic, as if seen through a spiraling lens. The black-and-white motif becomes a way to consider contrast, cycles, and the shifting tension between opposites. This connects to the principle of yin and yang and the flowing movement of tai chi, where light and dark depend on one another and continuously transform.
