Wake
WAKE
Three things cannot long be hidden: the sun, the moon, the truth. The Earth revolves in orbit, with the sun descending and the moon rising, time seamlessly passes. The truth is, we wake up in what seems like our daily attempt to fight gravity. Wake metaphorically represents one’s sense of consciousness, a more intentional look at the battles of awakening from our sleep and into the break of dawn to start the day. In this movement and light centered piece, we explore these short moments of gratitude, fear and anticipation an individual has upon that short period of waking up from their sleep, Ultimately waking up to absorb the sun's light, to accompany the moon when it gets dark, and to face the truth that lies in our day to day life.
