“The message that is given through movement is a co-operation between the realm above us and the one that we’re in.”
“In my work, I start from the need to dive into different dimensions; realms where my experience and existence are the point of departure. A choice in how I want to portray myself within space to reclaim power. At the same time, I aim to participate in storytelling in an authentic way. This approach leads me to create work that I would have wanted to see when I was younger and at the same time change the narratives that are often associated with my existence” Christian Yav
