Themes

re-enchantment

Manifestation is the act of bringing an intention or desire into reality. It comes from the belief that the world listens when we speak with trust and focus, and implies co-creating reality by aligning with unseen forces.

healing

I used Magic Mirror to reconnect with neglected parts of myself, combining studies in psychology and spirituality with mind-body practices like yoga and tai chi. Making art in community allowed me to relax, feel more connected and recover lost energy.

relationality

To realize Magic Mirror, we worked with existing relationships and networks. These ties gave the project life and momentum with little planning or budget. Theatre event Sources of Power and solstice party Mirror Work explored how we relate to ourselves and a higher power.
