This practice articulates the relationship between the body and space, considering how the body communicate with the space in the realm of everyday life. 

I put the emphasis on the embodied understanding of spatial experience through revealing traces of body movements as a form to interact with the space.

As a series of Ritual Repetition, I use the notion of trajectories and tracing acts (de Certeau, 1984) to map repetitive activity in order to develop a spatial practice engaging performance, floor, and the body. This introduces the idea of a space as active and being produced as 'a metaphor for the very experience of social life' (Lefebvre, 1991). The performance is choreographed through my bodily-memorized activities (Yoga) as a 'muscle memory' Friedman, 2001) in the way that we experience space. This defined space is filled with patterns of spatial use that provides a spatial typology and is a representation of one's identity. This reveals how mundane activity transforms into the context of artwork.
