“If the head, above, recapitulates the whole body, the feet, below, do the same and are bearers of its potential "becoming.” Annick de Souzenelle

I am a conceptual artist. My work speaks about the Feminine archetype often associated with “Mother Earth.” The ground, the soil, the roots, the womb, nurturing – these are at the center of my interest and research.

It is through our feet that we have the most direct and physical connection to the soil.

Earth needs healing. We need healing. Our connection to the earth needs healing. In this performance, I offer to wash and massage your feet in warm water and Marseille soap. This compassionate gesture is an act of care and intimacy that opens up a space for sharing. I ask to speak with you about your feminine side, about taking care and about our relation to Earth.
