Body & Sound of I & Eye (U): Bookperformance is initiated by the author and developed through the body and sound of both the textual being (language) and the actual being (human) of the author and the inspired reader or audience on stage. It showcases the transformation of a notebook or manuscript into a book, journeying from daydreams to its ultimate destination: the readers. The co-created artworks on stage symbolize the manuscripts of a physical book and are displayed for exhibition. As authorship of these works is shared, when sold, all proceeds are allocated to tree planting initiatives. This reflects both the sensitivity and the strength of the performance, contributing meaningfully to life on Earth.
