4NO1 Live
@hallwalls Contemporary Arts Center
Part of CANVAS 716, exploring body and landscape as a canvas in Western New York.
Two years ago, in the snow of my childhood home, I made 4NO1. Fifteen friends, a team who believed in me, in my vision, in the possibility of creating something from nothing. Legacy House,
@akxadam and his crew - all of them standing in the cold, holding the film together with me.
Back then, I carried a lot of hurt, disappointment, and the quiet fire of proving I could forge something radiant, even amid the world’s shadows. Every frame was charged with that energy, raw, unpolished, alive.
Now I look back, and the film breathes differently. These two years have reshaped me. I’ve traveled, observed, opened my eyes to the world and to myself. The hurt has softened into gratitude. The calamity has transformed into hope. Watching this film again, I see the same story, but through new eyes.
A story of persistence, of creation, of light emerging from the cold.
4NO1 - An evocative, meditative experience that uses dance, silence, and nature as its driving force.
