Small:2Big; the end of theory
"Small:2Big" is an innovative and dynamic project that masterfully blends sound and movement to create a rich, immersive experience. Using carefully curated materials and textures, the project boldly explores complex and existential themes such as willpower, guilt, blame, passion, aversion, and the enduring impact of trauma and memory.
With a keen eye for storytelling and a bold artistic vision, "Small:2Big" fearlessly charts new territory, breaking down barriers and challenging conventional notions of what is possible. This project demands attention and respect, and we are committed to representing the seemingly impossible in a way that is both powerful and accessible to all.
