Naia Urresti / Laura DeAngelis / Jazlyn Goldsworthy WHAT REMAINS

What Remains

The idea is to portray our reality, specifically the banalities of our day-to-day lives, in an abstracted way. The works I’m exhibiting portray common situations like taking public transport, checking your social media, observing policemen during the day, going grocery shopping, etc.. Certain aspects of these situations are overblown or highlighted in a way, that evokes feelings ranging from slight distress to disturbance. I removed the human aspect from all the works. Humans are either to be added by our imagination, depicted as playing pieces, portrayed on a screen as manikins, or in some other way. By removing the human aspects from these mundane situations, I want to pose the question, “What remains?”

Penelope

Penelope is a dance solo that examines female desire through interconnected scenes drawn from the choreographer-performer’s personal experiences with romantic and erotic bonds between women. The piece reflects on the weight of romantic ideals placed on women—expectation, longing, pleasure, surrender, disappointment—and how these patterns shape all our relationships, beyond heteronormativity. Penelope weaves and unweaves herself, trapped between desire and its unfulfillment, revealing how women expose themselves in search of connection. Through movement, the work gives voice to desire as a way to reclaim narratives that emerge from intimacy and peripheral experiences.
