These films are iterations of ongoing experimental improvisations.

Here are some curiosities:

What happens when you want to touch someone but they don't want to be touched? What happens when you want to touch yourself but don't feel comfortable to?
Who do you feel comfort with and why or why not?

Some more words that come up: Trajectory of touch, Curiosity, Patience, Hesitation, Proximity, The anticipation of touch.

Touch is a longing. It is a desire. It is a need. It is one of the five senses. It’s basic. It’s expressive. It is telling. It is quiet. Touch communicates. Beyond the mind, beyond words. Beyond understanding. Touch reveals what is underneath.
