'Stunts' is an ongoing exploration which considers physicality and playfulness as valuable tactics toward a mental fitness.
With the assumption that challenging physical activities enhance our critical and inquisitive potential, 'Stunts' aims to encourage conviviality.

Through the usage and sampling of elements from various disciplines which set the body as a functional tool, this approach provides for a scenario of the carnivalesque set within the practice of everyday life.

Starting with the subversion of innocuous everyday objects to reveal their latent potential as weapons, this project explores the idea that exuberant or eccentric activities are important elements in the process of mental and physical growth within a controlled environment.
Understanding the body and its interactions as an expressive apparatus, this project develops
a critical perspective on how we are shaped by society.
Specifically, these sculptural interventions informed by this research aim to shape subjects into critical individuals through physical and performative actions.
