An experiential art installation. Squamish, October 2025.

PORTALS will use multi-sensory art and experiences to support viewers’ nervous systems so that they may better navigate changes and transitions. The immersive art experiences will help to lay the somatic foundations for new experiences and healing. The experience will help viewers/participants build their capacity to move through transitions and experience change positively.

As people walk through the curated installation and interact with the art displayed in a multi sensory environment, they will be able to feel new somatic (body-based or felt-sense) experiences. I will be integrating my skills as a trauma therapist and artist to achieve this goal. The exhibit will be built on a thematic framework of the Tarot card archetypes, specifically the transitions between the archetypes, to create a map to explore universal themes around transitions.

Artists from many disciplines are collaborating to bring this one of a kind experience to life. This installation includes original music, paintings, photography, dance videos, poetry, recordings, ceramics, fiber arts, and lighting.
