Via Crux(2024)
Your body is a chalice, filled with wine. Your skin is silken and tawny like a field of wheat touched by the breeze.
An experimental, audiovisual exploration of female corporeity and the effects inflicted upon it by a mystical experience. The conjugation of flesh and spirit born out of the contact with catholic symbolism. Religion and eroticism, as well as temptation and violence, as seen through an earthly spirituality. A short film inspired by real-life testimonies of women in the medieval times regarding their relationship to Jesus of Nazareth and how this translates to the female body.
