Enso

30" x 18"

The Enso is an art form that was created by monks. It is made up of one swift motion usually in the shape of a circle or half circle. It is said that monks can only create this after they have meditated and have found their inner peace. Through this video I have adopted my own way of freeing my mind to let my body create, through yoga. This is a series of yoga practices all resulting in the craft of creating the enso at the end. The video was also projected within a black box that was completely sealed off so each viewer had to view the piece individually.
