THREE BODIES (2025)
Three Bodies explores the relationship between the human body, Earth, and Moon through artworks that function as guides for somatic meditation. In the main gallery, paintings representing lunar phases are accompanied by a soundscape of ocean waves recorded under a full Moon on Guatemala’s Pacific Coast. Layered with moonquake frequencies—vibrations caused by Earth’s gravitational pull on the Moon—these sounds are adjusted to an audible range that echoes natural bodily rhythms such as deep sleep cycles and resting heart rates.
Viewers are invited to engage with the paintings through breath and subtle movement: tracing the bone patterns with the eyes, allowing the gaze to guide the neck, and attuning to the body's response as shared resonances emerge between body and Moon.
The materiality of the works reinforces these connections. Calcium—present in the bones, pigments, Earth’s crust, and the Moon’s surface—evokes a shared geological ancestry. Sand from Guatemala’s Pacific Coast speaks to the reciprocal gravitational pull between Earth and Moon: while the Moon shapes Earth’s tides, Earth generates seismic activity on the Moon.
In the basement gallery, a wool braid interwoven with o-shaped bones invites tactile engagement. Reminiscent of rosaries or meditation beads, the piece becomes an instrument for somatic awareness as viewers walk the circle, silently "reading" each bone with their fingers, synchronizing breath and touch.
Rooted in seeing-breathing, an ongoing methodology integrating neuroscience, meditation, and somatic practice, the exhibition proposes embodied ways of perceiving interconnection between human and planetary bodies.
