The Sovereign Veil

The Sovereign Veil is a solo, non-verbal dance performance transmitting erotic sovereignty as embodied authority, presence, and feminine power through movement, rhythm, and archetypal form.

This dance was filmed in the Erg Chebbi dunes at the conclusion of a 21-day arts residency in the Moroccan Sahara Desert. Developed in a landscape where feminine presence was largely unseen in public space, the piece responds to the tension between visibility and concealment, autonomy and erasure, through embodied restoration rather than representation.

The work explores what emerges when a woman does not seek to be seen, but governs what is revealed.
