Buried in A Coffin the Size of A Grain of Rice

is a performative space in which the spectator becomes the protagonist .Within this space of meditation, prayer, silence and offering, we are invited to at once re-enter the body and be transported to an in-between realm. Here, darkness is embraced to discover the first rays of light. A portal connects the ancestral with the mortal world and allows entities to watch over the current mortal realm, offering guidance to those willing to receive. We find a guardian watching over an unborn entity, in utero in the swamp.
