Performative enactment of identity changes brought on by physical and temporal relocation. Dance, movement, tenue, color, time lapse, text and chroma key processing together form an inquiry into where one belongs.
A great artist named La'Vender Freddy posted a video on Instagram (@lavenderfreddy) about an incident that happened when he traveled alone to a faraway country, and lost his keys and wallet in the ocean. He kept his courage by reminding himself that the same sun shines on us, no matter where we are on earth.
