Sanctum


Sanctum is part of an ongoing project that looks to restore a sense of sanctuary and human connection in an age of relentless urbanisation and digital saturation.

"The Distance Between Us: An Exercise in Trust" is a visual performance exploring themes of control, restraint, vulnerability, and human connection. The project centres on trust exercises performed by two subjects dressed in exaggerated long-sleeved garments, evoking a sense of symbolic restriction.

The film focuses on the vulnerability of trusting another person — allowing oneself to rely on someone else while navigating the delicate balance between control and surrender.

The work has been produced as a part of ‘The One Hour Residency’ led by artist/curator Alfie Winters.

"‘Sanctum’ is the second piece in the series—a video documenting the uncharted realm of ‘Terra Sancta,’ a place unbound by time or geography, where the sacred emerges in fleeting moments of stillness and connection to the natural world.
