A bitcoin vault doesn’t store actual bitcoin units. Technically, what’s being stored are private, cryptographic keys. It’s odd to think of a virtual currency needing physical storage, but just like your most precious photos, even a cryptocurrency needs some kind of material container.
What dance can do so powerfully is stir the memory and knowledge that lives in the body, and connect the world of images and ideas to this container that we inhabit.

In my work I'm thinking more about the right proportion between idea and container.

The size and shape of the body don't matter, what matters is what the body contains. I take that idea in many different directions, such as the vibration of that material. Ideas are one more of our vibrations as we speak and the words fill space and stand frozen in the air; it's a way that we can transform into something physical.

The idea and the container of a work of art should be in the correct proportion.

We have the possibility to illuminate life. The human body is this fantastic container of dreams.
