Created during a series of encounters with Uzbek folk dancers, this work explores the persistence of gesture through time.

These dances are built on repetition—turns, spins, and rhythmic sequences passed through generations. Using chronophotographic techniques, each image compresses multiple moments into a single frame, allowing movement to accumulate rather than disappear.

Costume, colour, and motion merge into a single visual field. What is normally fleeting becomes structural: the arc of a sleeve, the spiral of a skirt, the echo of a raised arm.

These are not records of performance, but translations of it—
where tradition becomes form, and movement becomes memory.
