This series is part of a larger project that began in 2020 during the pandemic in an intention to collect emotions danced on stage during live performances. Over time this project has evolved into a search for vulnerability and its unfiltered expression.

In a society that pushes us to wear masks, to conform to imposed standards, to run away from diversity in order not to be judged, I love to tell the authentic expression of uniqueness.

Through artists dancing their vulnerability on stage, I capture moments that can make people reflect on the beauty of living one's uniqueness and vulnerability by detaching oneself from the expectations of others.
