Touching to a Climax

performance, 2022

This performance was birthed during the 2022 pandemic lockdown. In a moment dominated by electronic screens, we have seemingly forgotten the sensation of physical touch. We connect to the outside world through the internet, relying on imagination to enhance our emotional states, to the extent that screens alone can bring us to a climax. This piece of performance art poses critical questions: What does the act of touch signify in the COVID era, and how has it transformed our sense of identity?
