UNTETHERED is an immersive and kinetic video installation, a metaphysical exploration of the invisible forces that connect our spirituality with nature. Sculptural elements of raw bush materials, sheer fabrics, garments and objects combine in a breeze of movement, light, shadow, projection & sound.
