Blue Bird is a multi 16mm projector performance of the journey of a bird’s soul to find its body, also a mesmerizing journey of self-discovery. The bird's journey mirrors my journey of searching for belonging and the quest for wholeness through a female and personal lens. Layered with evocative soundscapes and multilingual poems, the performance creates a liminal space where dreams and reality converge. Spoken word and poem elements engage the viewer in a thought-provoking dialogue, inspiring them to seek their own sense of “wholeness.”

Blue Bird is not only a kind of bird, but also a symbol of a group of people, who migrate and explore their identity, history, and memory.
