Sweetness of the New

Dance performance, AI animation

"A tribute to Jean-Michel Basquiat. I truly felt like a vessel making this piece. It felt bigger than me, and I truly don’t know if just sharing this is enough. I don’t know if I’m even the right person to do so. Basquiat made me feel less alone in this world. His art, ideas, and heart still speak so loudly to my heart... The music featured is a song from Basquiat’s band Gray called ‘Sweetness Of The New.’ Danced, edited, AI animation done by me."
