Winds on Sand Piece
Fall 2024
Installation Art, Performance, Typography
In this interactive and immersive performance, motion-sensor technology activates reactive visuals, projecting written words onto fabric. The piece features a quote from diarist and novelist Anaïs Nin: “We do not see things as they are, we see things as we are.” A wide calligraphic banner creates ample space for the dancer, whose graceful movements cause the particles of the words to shift and fly across the space. Gradually, the words fade back into view, restoring their original opacity.
