Rituals for the End of the World is an intimate invitation into the ceremonial spaces I created within the ruins of the present.
This work navigates realms where ritualism and reality merge, bringing awareness to the apocalyptic feel of late-stage capitalism and U.S. imperialism.
Movements and dancing shadows creates a rhythm, calling to moments of pause, rest, joy, and contemplation.
Against the backdrop of the Mediterranean Sea, we engage in conversation with the divine entities of Candomblé: Exu and Iemanjá, invoking their strength and guidance to navigate through dark times.
This work is a call to bear witness, engage, and participate in the collective act of rebelling against the present and shaping a future disengaged from cynicism and despair.
