why won't you let me be free?

Video Performance
Keyes Residency
why won't you let me be free? is a video performance captured through looping, intuitive movement and dance in nature during a 10-day off-grid residency in Harrington, Maine. The work explores the cynical nature between freedom and confinement, using nature as both a site of potential liberation and restriction.
What does it mean to be truly free in a world so entangled with technology? Is living off-grid a legitimate way to reclaim autonomy, or is it another form of restriction? How do we navigate the tension between the desire for freedom and the systems that confine us?
