Finding Ground
(Spring 2024)

This impromptu and collaborative performance took place during the Spring 2024 Finding Ground experience. Viewed from above, figures and ground meld. Shifting visual perspective speaks to the need to take an expansive and curious view when trying to understand complexity and find common ground. The merging of forms signals impermanence and interconnection; and the spaces in between indicate inevitable gaps in understanding and the fact that we form views and beliefs from incomplete data. However by collaborating and creating together, it is possible to find co-regulation, allowing differences to dissolve, and deep connections and harmonious interactions to occur.
