For God, 2019
For God is an abstract etude about the place of the female body in the narrations of beauty, harmony and sacred within art and religion. It embodies the will to create and sacrifice oneself for god, which has become the meaning, purpose and tragedy of multiple lives through out the history. It asks if the concept of god is only a consequence from the fear of our dying, ageing body, and a byproduct of our disability to let go of the singular I, the ultimate illusion of "God's perspective"? What is the relation of I and God? And who is the god in this setting, audience, performer, or something beyond us all?
