link by Political Movement

link is a physically charged solo work that confronts the personal and collective battles that shape a generation. Drawing from warrior-like movement, the piece examines the visible and invisible blockades we encounter in contemporary life — social, political, emotional, and internal. Through persistence, resistance, and momentum, link asks: what are we fighting for, and what are we fighting against?
