SEOLH
The piece I am developing entitled “seolh” is based on the myth of the "selkies", mythic sea creatures, half woman, half seal, that I believe embody the human quest for freedom. The work investigates the ties that bind us both natural and constructed and the often painful journey of discovery that brings to light our true identity, full of resilience and freedom. Further inspired by the seductive power of the songs associated with folklore creatures, the piece will include live and recorded music, composed and sung by Bre Short. Half of the piece is completed.

Using spirituality as a vessel of connection and the common denominator between two different yet similar religions, empathy, trust and intimacy is shared withinside the multitudes of relationships that we embody with each other. To release into the complexities gives us access to be with each other and to see from the other side.
