Traces of a Recording explores movement, memory, and identity. The series began with a curiosity about how to record something that only exists in the moment. It also became an exploration of identity and what happens when the thing that has defined you for most of your life no longer exists.

As a performer, I became interested in capturing the nature of movement. A rehearsal, or a performance only exists in the moment. I wanted to find a way to record that experience. By tracing my body directly onto the canvas, I began exploring what a recorded movement could look like, not as a documentation of choreography, but as a physical trace.

Alongside the paintings, the series includes sculptures made from hundreds of deconstructed pointe shoes. Removed from their original function, the materials begin to resemble bones, knuckles, cartilage, and other bodily forms.
