In between childhood wonder, idle reverie, and planetary grief, a meditation emerges on what it means to tend the subtle pulse that binds species and generations. Through disappearing rituals, spells against catastrophe, and the renewed power of aging bodies, these works inhabit the delicate spaces where intimacy meets enormity. How do we belong to our lives when our lives belong to something infinitely more vast?

Part of a series of work exploring the ways older bodies and psyches engage eros, gender, creativity, sexuality and desire. How do we navigate and grow from the loss of power, ability, vitality, and each other? In a culture in which aging bodies are assumed to be sexless and considered neutered, what does it look and feel like to reclaim our erotic power?
