THE RAW CONTACT
(Where instinct overrides structure)
In Raw Contact the body moves through fields and woods. The body explores its surroundings through touch: skin rests on branches, leans into tree trunks and moves through vegetation. The set follows a return to sensation, treating physical contact not as comfort, but as a way of testing what is real.
