A PORTRAIT OF A LIFE THAT KEPT GOING.
This work emerges from a year of rupture — loss, grief, heartbreak, and a body rewritten by major surgery — and follows the moment where movement and hope return. Some people talk about a “sixth stage” of grief: beyond acceptance, where you learn how to live with the fracture, building meaning out of interruption. Tracing how a life transcends: a body stitched back into itself, re-forming as joy emerges in new shapes and rhythms.
Dancers smear through time, colour sliding off them,
echoing the painterly mood of 'Like a Rothko Painting'.
'Dance, Regardless' (2025, CVPR 2026) is the next movement after 'Dance Interrupted' (2023, MET AMS Amsterdam, curated by Accelerate Art, 2023; Fellowship, daily.xyz, 2024).
Created during a period of illness when traditional production was impossible, 'Dance, Regardless' uses AI as a means of translating lived feeling directly into moving image — an enabling way of working from within limitation rather than outside it.
The work unfolds in a porous, liminal space: intimate, affect-led AI, attuned to lived temporality — where unstable bodies meet technology with tenderness, human gesture remaining central.
Shaped by a collective, unstable moment — where continuity and break coexist — the work considers what remains human as time moves forward, regardless.
Movement dissolves and reassembles; gestures echo and decay through temporal slippage, evoking memory and fragility. Emotion is held as a present condition rather than a resolved narrative.
While born from personal rupture, the six-part series invites recognition across grief, adaptation, and endurance, allowing others to recognise their own experiences.
Created in-cAImera as single continuous takes.
