Sun Salutations is a play on the body as a soft vessel of elemental mantras continuously pumped through us. To acknowledge the changing environments within and outside ourselves, the projection is a dancer - rendered as a celestial light derived from play time with a hula hoop - rendered as a Sun Salutation - symbolic of the paradoxical dance of self, collective and ancestral continuum. A yogic sequence of Suryanamaskar (sun salutation) dances with the figure, reflective of the meaning of 'arriving to oneself’ and devotion to the sun in humble reverence to them playing with the rising and setting pathways laminated across the sky suggesting cycles of death and rebirth again and again.
Framing yogic benefits of body-building in helping to cultivate a strong mind, body and soul - as collective and therefore anti-colonial, - subverts its long legacy of colonialism and brahminisation that seeks to isolate and individualise.

Projected in a body of water to reflect her like a lucid dream submerged, unfolding in another state and time.

Sounds of a Bijamantra - translated as seed syllable/mantra - surround the sequence mixed with field recordings of elemental sounds collected in London, akin to each element in the song.

I like the idea that the figure is a pulsating gold seed like within each person lies a unique essence, akin to the inherent value and resilience found in gold, a source of strength and connection to something larger, as if its born from this fire that is deep inside, similar to the fire deep inside the earth.
