“My brain and my heart are my temple. My philosophy is kindness.” - 14th Dalai Lama
Through a seven year process of personal transformation, my entire identity shifted in meaning. In dance I found personal truth, and it showed me how to move through my existence in this world, ever-evolving to become a better version of myself. Within this intensive period, I experienced multiple stages of neuroplasticity through the mind-body connection, continually rewiring the brain and sculpting the body to lead to an open and compassionate heart. Hinging on my research in Tibetan murals and the compassion mandala - maps of enlightenment images used to enhance spiritual practice and the home of the compassion deity - Buddhaverse is an artistic metaphor of a ‘divine temple’, an installation symbolizing the exuberance and vitality of my internal world, incorporating research in multi-sensory therapy to engage the senses. Laying in a field of grass under a soft moving sky, visitors are immersed in murals of glowing flowers, nature and dancers as deities. The flowers and herbs depicted are both grown and used medicinally in the Swiss Alps and Himalayas, tied together by my time spent in Switzerland.
Installation is 4 x 4 x 4 meters (H x W x L), comprised of neon paints, black light, Tisca and Filtex textile, Tisca fake grass and lasercut carpet, heat transferred images by Lobra, laser cut EMPA PET recycle foil and Lobra iridescent materials, projection, sound and rainbow light.
