Description
A three-part meditation on our role as both spectator and participant in a world of inequity and injustice.
SENSORIAL is a journey in sensory perception. The senses guide us through urban landscapes, animal connections and familial bonds as we consider who we are, where we are—both physically and metaphysically—and what truly matters. SENSORIAL proposes one set of responses to the never-ending data we process as we navigate through life. In particular, it considers aging and illness on the journey towards life’s end—and examines gain and loss in the aggregate.
Poetry.
