ACTS OF INTIMACY
‘Acts of Intimacy’ is a 16-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.
Make it stand out
It all begins with an idea. Maybe you want to launch a business. Maybe you want to turn a hobby into something more. Or maybe you have a creative project to share with the world. Whatever it is, the way you tell your story online can make all the difference.
‘Acts of Intimacy’ gives the audience permission to tap into the freedom within.
