ACTS OF INTIMACY

‘Acts of Intimacy’ is a 14-part looping video series that celebrates the profound beauty, depth, and intimacy within our daily lives. Through this imagery, we uncover the poetry in simple rituals that reconnect us to our essence, providing a sanctuary for self-discovery. In these moments, we find the strength to breathe, be present, and embrace our authenticity. ‘Acts of Intimacy’ is a gentle reminder that the intimate moments we create are the crux of life and a pathway to freedom. Take a journey with us as we embrace the sacred art of just being.

Intimacy is key to our individual and collective healing.

‘Acts of Intimacy’ gives the audience permission to tap into the freedom within.
