Emotive Rhythms; Dancing Tears

Emotive Rhythms; Dancing Tears

A project that truly connects my two expression tools and lets me discover new feelings, emotions, beauty and a new way of reaching to my audience.

The use of mascara holds a special significance for me as it symbolizes the tears, sweat and sacrifice that accompany the movements that inspire the brush strokes. It represents the wide range of nuances and emotions that performing artists expose themselves to every day throughout their careers. This project, in fact, was born out of a necessity to release emotions and energy on a frustrating day during rehearsals. At that time, the only inked instrument I had available was the mascara from my stage makeup kit. However, I developed a deep affinity for how I could express myself through its meaning, technique, and visual impact, and it naturally became my new mode of expression.
