In the beginning,
Yesum and them shared the same body.

In the beginning of summer 
with the drips of rain in Eindhoven,
they flowed out.
And they drew their land,
outside of the body they shared with Yesum.

In the midst of summer with
plentiful sunshine in Porto,
some of them made a pact to move out,
taking on colors, and expanding in volume.

Towards the end of summer with the fresh breeze in Porto,
some others opened up their body to be shared and enjoyed.

And, welcome to their house warming night.
The body to be shared and enjoyed.
Now their bodies became each as an island,
and they invite us to share the moment together.

During my residency at INSTITUTO in Porto, I presented the project <Housewarming>, a narrative of the process by which ideas transform and are shared with the audience. In the beginning, my ideas and I existed as a single, unified body〞a collective self in which boundaries were blurred. Then, as time passed in Porto, some of these beings, imbued with newfound vibrancy, chose to move out〞adopting fresh colors and expanding in volume. Their departure was not an act of separation, but a celebration of individual expression and growth. Later, as the fresh breeze of late summer swept through Porto, others gently opened themselves, inviting connection and becoming accessible for shared enjoyment. The presentation day became the housewarming night〞a moment of gathering where each transformed body stood as its own island, yet remained part of a greater communal landscape.
