Dance is my method of therapy and a huge part of who I am. After being forced to face my most daunting thoughts during my time in quarantine, freestyling was the only way for me to digest how I felt. This project, seams, developed into a visual journal of my mental health journey throughout this past year. It explores both positive and negative sensations experienced in my ongoing quest for inner peace. While witnessing the chaos unfold around me, I found that permanence lies only in the relationship I have with myself, especially in a time of isolation and uncertainty.

My mentor not only brought so much clarity into my life, but has also taught me the importance of detachment from work I hold very close to my heart.
