Body Purification, 2018
Live Art
Photographer: Nigel Rolfe
Cathartic Release
This performance is about cathartic release where Sam explores the process of physical, mental and emotional purification, giving new meaning to both the material and the emotional that he has collected and carried throughout his life. As an expression of emotional release, Sam removes externalised representations of himself, bringing repressed feelings and memories into consciousness as a way of reclaiming and returning to a more fundamental sense of self.
