Temporary Flesh explores impermanence, identity, and bodily autonomy through dance. Using chairs as extensions of the body, this work questions our origins and the transitory nature of existence—are we merely vessels for survival, or do we have agency over our fate? As the artist navigates personal and collective transformations, the body becomes a site of memory, adaptation, and inevitable expiration. It does not belong to us; it carries stories until it reaches its breaking point. Body on loan, body in transit, body as a phase, body as a vessel, body marked.
