Sama
Story / Concept
Inspired by the mystical intensity of Sama and by a deep devotion to Rumi, this work reflects a moment in which the boundary between body and spirit begins to dissolve, and movement becomes a path toward release from the self and union with existence.
Sama is about an experience beyond time and place — a state in which, through rotation, silence and ecstatic motion, the human presence lets go and moves closer to a feeling of unity and the infinite.
