Inner power, your light, your core gives you an opportunity to stand, feel and overcome trouble and pain. Project “M.U.M” is about the change a woman feels when pregnant, when she gives life and when she guides the kids through the life.

It’s an experiment on emotional, movement and energetic level.

The female role when the child needs her the most… and a sense of loss when a child steps alone into the world…

This work is a prayer…

It’s about Faith, Hope, Love.

It’s about the world and the darkness that lives in each of us.

It’s about our childhood, about the time when trees were big… It’s about the woman-guardian, the woman-symbol, the woman-legend…
