Seeking solace and a place of refuge to mourn the death of a cherished friend, Marya travels to Ayo (Aruba), a portal where ‘the sacred’ is made visible. Ayo’s boulder outcroppings mirror her emotional chaos. Using her body in a setting that encloses and entraps it, Marya inhabits a boulder’s womb to ponder impermanence and human frailty. On her journey through the sublime topography she learns a vital lesson about perseverance.
