—the ritual
—08/23
woke up on an extra slow august day and decided to make it my month of intention:-) my goal of swimming in the river every day developed into a deep appreciation for the environment around me, an opportunity to disconnect each day from all external forces of life, turn inwards —as well as a veryyyy fun video compilation of each day, both alone and with my dearest friends:
—The Canopy; The Hidden Life of Humans
An optimistic exhibit which took place on Earth Day, April 22, 2023 in the Concordia Greenhouse. “What is The Canopy?” was on display as the welcome video at the event as part of the exhibition.
“Canopy; The Hidden Life of Humans is an interdisciplinary research-creation project that rebirths civilization up in the trees. This project is a harmonious depiction of humans and nature. It explores a fundamentally reversed flow of human activity (existing from the top down rather than the ground up). With our bodies lifted off the ground, we perch above and surrender to the leaves; we give these mighty terrestrial, and sacred beings the space to heal centuries of human-imposed abuse. “Nature versus nurture” becomes “nature via nurture”.
