"Dominique is searching for a new invisible space which only comes out of her body, beyond any intellectual meaning."

Takeshige Shinichi

I am a water body and I wish to remember how to swim on dry land?

The currents of my practice emerge in a space of the nameless. My work is less concerned with identity or medium than with energy as a way of knowing: how it moves through the body, shifts between form and formlessness, continually transforming. Through choreographic installations, physical artworks, sound composition, visual scores, material processes, and electronic tinkering, I explore how energetic states can be sensed within the materiality of each body.

My practice unfolds intuitively. Beginning in the body's inner landscapes, it extends towards wider ecological and cosmic rhythms, where gut-feeling, intuition, memory, and honing the subtle senses are all ways of listening to the world's ambient knowing.

Drawing from the wisdom traditions I research, I am guided by a simple principle: energy is never lost, only transformed. These traditions also attend to notions of perpetual or renewable energy as both lived cosmology and ethical orientation, in contrast to contemporary regimes in which energy is extracted from bodies and territories, and increasingly projected into planetary and more-than-planetary imaginaries shaped by extraction, monetisation, and expansion. I approach my expanded artistic practice as a site of continual metamorphosis, where one work morphs into another, often recycling materials and processes that remain in circulation, attuned to sonic and sensuous material lineages in Indian microtonality and aesthetic sensibilities (rasa theory). Against systems that reduce energy to labour, productivity, or self-worth, my work cultivates spaces for pleasure, rest, dreaming, sensing, and encountering the unknown through collective imagination.

Rather than separate projects, my works form an interconnected ecology. I often orient them through the triad of Tantra (embodied practice), Mantra (sound), and Yantra (visual scores and diagrams). Together, these become different expressions of a single inquiry into presence, transformation, and listening through the waters of the body.
