The Alchemist Lab –Performing Nature
Morphological Study of Alchemical body and Nature
This body of Body and Nature and Decoding alchemical body in context to Nature/Ecology. It is about this alchemical process can be used
to reconcile body/mind and understanding the self in context to nature/Ecology.
This project is about Body of performer mirroring ecological & cultural landscape. Our bodies are embodied with impression of our culture,
race, and ecology we come from. In this project I would like to metaphorically connect body with ecological cultural landscape. Over the
years my understanding and interest on subject of alchemy has enlarged and now I would like to nurture profound understanding of
alchemy in regards to nature, which can impact our understanding to keep ecological balance and survival of whole humanity which is
crucial concern at this stage. I would like to bring all form of manifestation of nature through body. How our body can become nature and
nature become body we are alive because nature is alive we die if nature dies. Our existence is solely depends on ecological balance of
world. The nature has abundance gift of medicinal plants /animal and mineral which can be used for healing. In my work I incorporate these
organic elements since they have medicinal and healing properties.
