​​wave verb \ ˈwāv How to pronounce wave \ waved; waving 

An interdisciplinary performance of movement, photography and text inspired by travel to Tofino, British Columbia. September 2019.

​After an intense period of significant life changes, something moved me so strongly that it could not be ignored. I was on a plane all fresh and sunny like flying home from the Gulf of Mexico with the ocean swelling my soul. Suddenly, something just came over me like a wave. I was compelled to go to Vancouver Island.  This powerful force brought me all the way to the most western point of Canada to Tofino, British Columbia.  This journey sparked the wild in me and I haven't look back since.
