Nature kaleidoscope

Meditative snail dance

 Those two were born when I almost lost my self. I was just not sure why I study Art, I’m here, I can’t smile and sometimes I was not sure why I am alive. When I had such kind of feelings, I tried to walk outside as much as possible. And I used iPhone’s application to take videos of nature and I used them for meditation. I put some music which calmed me down. And also I danced with my dance student friend in a canteen. The friend talked me how hard to live here as a Chinese girl. My heart was bleeding at that time so I really could feel what she wanted to say. When we started dancing, we interacted by touching hands and mimicking movements. Intimacy happened. Snail attracted me so much at that time because they walk very slowly and slowly. One day I found a snail at the entrance of our home. I almost stepped on him. But he didn’t care about me and he kept walking. So I really respect snails. They don’t care how people react. So I out snails as meditative piece.
