Salutations
Salutations
Materializing the space that a sun salutation requires, on all axes of its movements.
The lightweight fabric allows the volume to adapt to each exhale and extension, while the transparency invites the sun to commune with the perimeter it describes.
The installation hangs from fixed points coresponding to body parts, such as the shoulders, the fingertips lifted above the head or the hips.
Together, they anticipate the trajectory of the sequence.
