Sama

Sama  is a performance which combines video, audio, and space,  based on the Sufi tradition of spinning meditation. Exploring this practice, from which the artist's mother-in-law originates, the artist is exploring the dome structure as a sacred space of reflection, rebirth, and cultural integration. The work features physical and digital  meditations on the death of the ego, unification, and love as a catalyst for eliminating division. Video footage was projected into the dome while the traditional spinning  meditation was performed beneath it.
