The project frames rest not as a function of temporary recovery nor as a form of self-care aimed toward increased efficiency. Instead, it is seen as a reorientation of attention that disrupts linear time and productivity-driven rhythms, allowing alternative modes of sensing, relating, and knowing to emerge.
The practice is situated within an artistic–performative framework, where knowledge is collaboratively generated through enactment, repetition, and material interaction rather than representation. It is carried out through dream-based and contemplative attunement, participatory workshops, and collaborations with materials such as clay and soil. Conducted between Cairo and the Netherlands, the research investigates how a spiritually grounded practice shifts as it moves across contexts.
