James Joyce once said that within the particular lies the universal.
In a time of such division, witnessing an act of union is extraordinary.
Afines celebrates the idea that beyond our lived experiences and unique identities, we share much in common.
Two bodies speaking a single language.
Two bodies inhabiting the same space and time.
Two bodies sharing the same universe.
Afines expresses how bodies intertwine and fit together, becoming one —moments in which they orbit each other, attracting and distancing themselves, refining their connections to the limit, developing an intense relationship that freezes and burns, forgets and remembers, and ultimately finds in creativity a choice —the only choice.
As Kae Tempest says: “Creativity fosters connection. It brings us together and helps us cultivate a greater awareness of ourselves.”
It brings us together and helps us cultivate a greater awareness of ourselves.”
