Ma is a Japanese concept of negative space that relates to all aspects of life. Rather than an absence, the gap in perception that allows for diffuse thought. The interval created, whether in the mind or the physical realm, is a regenerative pause. Within this space, a break in the composition of our active minds can exist, deepening our awareness of what is around us. 

This series was photographed during the pandemic lockdowns. Collaborating with dancers from the National Ballet Of Canada, Choreographers and other artists, who were unable to perform at the time. 

The images were photographed outside and at a distance with the collaborative aim to urgently transcend the moment and the confines of the reality, we were all living through.

To leave a beautiful mark from the unknown place and of our solitary but collective worlds in transformation.

This project was inspired by and created during the pandemic lockdowns in collaboration with with Actor; Chloe Rose, Dancer; Adelaide Sadler, Choreographer and contemporary dancer; Andrea Nan and from the National Ballet Of Canada: Connor Hamilton, First Soloist Calley Skalnik and principal dancer Siphe November.
