full performance 

Void Hugger is an architectural garment inspired by the role of possessions in uprooted transitions. Within the framing of a shipping container, the performance explores frames that hold onto moments in time. Hugging a void could create a container for oneself.

This piece includes four fabrics folded like a notebook. Each turn introduces a domestic interior and a specific way of inhabiting that interiors. There are sixteen windows. Some of the windows are aligned creating a continues window between all the piece,
