I came back to Aruba with an urge to caress, to submerge myself in the medicinal spaces of the island. The natural spaces and their elemental wonder. To unravel their wisdom one touch at the time. The pandemic offered the opportunity to concentrate and witness the benefit of honoring the route that leads us to Daimari. Using the body as a scanner, the senses as the receptors, submerged in the wisdom of the body, unashamedly immersing into the elemental properties of Daimari. I was awakened to an ancestral portal. Leaving inhibitions behind I allow myself to sing, dance, move and contemplate upon the benefits of surrendering to the wisdom of nature.
Through the period of two years I was an artist in residency at UNOCA. I converted the location into my studio space and in turn it became a microcosm of DAIMARI. I made my site-specific experience of Daimari accessible to the local audience by setting up a reflection in the gallery spaces of all that was created. As I engage and reflect through DAIMARI with a special attention to the components the place permits. I am taken into creation. Performing an intimate experience of self revelation, transcendental awareness and bliss, ignited by Daimari.

OFRENDA
To perform rituals is to imbue intention, power and meaning into our existence. It is to admit that in us lives the potential for magic, a need for beautification, and to encounter the creator that lives with. To perform rituals is to be the sole creators of our existence, a deep sense of connection enabled. To perform rituals within the eldest shape of our being: nature. Allows us to exercise the creation of the Highest timeline that lives within. Encouraging dreaming and creative expression as medicine. During thirty minutes the audience is exposed to a ritual performance in nature. Where elemental dance, and organic offerings are being shared and sacrificed to invite a deep state of meditation upon the cyclical nature of living. The performance includes a poetic sound piece. A series or a body of organic offering, transformed using the element of fire.
E'MANTRA
A live intimate performance presenting the seven songs of E'MANTRA EP. A balcony with ocean view is transformed into a stage to transport the audience to a dreamscape.
