Soft Square traces the geometry of the square as an entry point for understanding the evolution of order in human life and behaviour. Through the interplay of movement, objects, and sound, the work explores the process of becoming a soft square, a fluid frame, a pliable grid, and a cushioned wall—as metaphors for forms of order that continually bend and reshape themselves from what came before.

“soft square” is a work that brings me back to the stage work, but as a performance, it works in between dance and performance art. This work is a series of materializing processes to my embodied memory of the square. Through movement and sound, the work embodies the process of “becoming a soft square, a fluid frame, soft panels, and puffy walls” as a metaphor for the shifting forms and norms of structure and order.
