Sovereign

Oil paint and video overlay
Featured dancer: Ariana Grace

The video projection delves into themes of power, agency, and the complexity of female identity. The dancers move with fluidity and intent, embodying the chess pieces but defying the passive role typically associated with them. Their deliberate movements assert women as active participants who shape their own choices, challenging traditional depictions of women as controlled or restricted. Sovereign redefines these roles, celebrating the autonomy, and resilience of women as they navigate and define their own paths in the game of life.
