Profound Inner Experiences
Many people find it difficult to articulate their emotions and inner experiences. - especially when it comes to trauma. Words often fall short in capturing the depth and essence of our experiences. To address this challenge, these workshops provided an alternative, more authentic form of expression. Driven by curiosity and experimentation, participants explored various ways to "capture the essence" of their human experiences and recreate it. This approach fostered a sense of playful curiosity and mastery, enabling participants to engage with typically overwhelming and heavy topics in an empowering and accessible manner.
Exploring the relationship between their "inner and outer worlds," and the dissonance between them, we identified barriers to being authentically seen, heard, and understood in ways that language alone cannot convey.
In this workshop, participants discovered a shared metaphysical space, "The Abyss," which they collectively mapped, documenting their journeys into and out of it.
They captured the essence of their experiences by filming reflections of their inner worlds in the outer physical world, identifying the right textures, materials, movements, and colors.
Dawn Eva then refined these samples, transitions, and expressions to create the final piece, which you can see below.
