Saline Nebulais a striking anti-utopia project that transforms the abstract into the tangible, and the unseen into the visible. Through choreography, it brings chaos, loneliness, and beauty to the forefront, turning shadows into images and form. This exploration of the primal human condition reveals a universe both alien and deeply human, capturing an ethereal world on the edge of the unknown.

“... In all chaos there is a cosmos.” — C.G. Jung
