n(o)umenm

0ur:selves — since 2012
Experimental sound and visual re:creations

N°umenm [ 0ur:selves ] is an experimental sound and visual research project that — ƒrom intimate to interstellar movements, through relationships between space, time, and beings~bodies — explores real and imaginary cosmovisions oƒ the self and the collective, rooted in intimancestral arborescences*.

*Intimancestral arborescences is a way oƒ speaking about intuition, ancestral knowledge. It arises from the perception that thoughts grow spirally like plants, trees — regardless oƒ how many roots or branches there are. It is about organic thoughts, vibrations, and embodied ways oƒ feeling~thinking~moving.

W(o)uvèlapò(+)

Experimental — 2021

︎
I love drawing, symbolizing key words that open doors to consciousness — like compasses to better navigate certain emotions. One oƒ them is the metamorphosis formula W(o)uvèlapō(+): as the skin peels away, the veil over the mind lifts. There are many ways to navigate within oneself — the mirror, through reflection, can open a passage, an entrance to another dimension~perception oƒ 0ur:selves.
