This project explores our physicality, materials, the concept of sculpture, and how the mechanical system around us has transformed our physical movement and body imagery. I collaborated with a choreographer and three dancers at the Watermill Center who wore my metal sculptures and created various shapes and reflections of their surroundings using various body movements.

Choreography by Victoria Macarte
