________________________________
“Respair” — from the Latin respirare, “to breathe again” — once meant the return of hope. It entered English alongside “despair” in the 15th century, but while despair endured, respair quietly disappeared. This imbalance says much about the emotional frameworks we inherit — a cultural lexicon tilted toward loss over renewal.
This hypnotic induction performance invites participants to restore a shared emotional vocabulary and to reconsider how language shapes experience.
With sound composition by
@aaron__drake , Respair reflects on the aftershocks of fire and ice, the breath between collapse and recovery.
Grateful to
@fondationvalmont for their ongoing support and to all those contributing to the spirit of healing and transformation.
