​Immersed in the beauty and serenity of Cypress Falls, I balanced the physicality of hiking with pauses for reflection and connection, fully attending to what I was sensing in each moment. This allowed me to engage deeply with photography, capturing images that later formed the foundation of a visual collection. Inspired by the gratitude and contentment that this magical environment evoked, I felt compelled to translate the experience into movement, embodying the essence of the rainforest and the spirit of Cypress Falls itself. In the weeks that followed, I traveled to Tremblay Conservation Area, spending time on the beach improvising movement and filming myself as I engaged with the natural environment. Through this iterative process of reflection, improvisation, and documentation, I generated a rich body of source material that informed the development of my layered, sensory work.
