I don’t care for flowers

2020

Your tongue tastes soil 

Eyes blister against sunshine

Old aches care for frost

I’ll lick your eye lids next time 

Lips tasting of pine

Skin on tongue like grass

See the trees in my eyes 

Walk along my hairy path 

Smack your lips to mine 

Insects sleep in my chest

I collect all your fallen eyelashes 

I am all your regrets

I don’t care for flowers is a video performance about nature and the female form, and how they intersect with each other. The body becomes the extension of the nature and simultaneously the nature becomes the extension of the body through transformation that allows the audience to observe the image of complementary forms of femininity. The corporeal exploration is focused on the crossing of decay and vitality - The body and the melting ice around it are seen as an indicator of the passage of time.
