Using spirituality as a vessel of connection and the common denominator between two different yet similar religions; empathy, trust and intimacy is shared within the multitudes of relationships that we embody with each other. To release into the complexities gives us access to be with each other and to see from the other side.

"And now our bodies knew bodies,

They danced in unison, they got tired
They found rest without darkness Our
bodies, the performers of labor and care
could feel and breathe together Our bodies
now weren’t afraid of a sunset."

- Tsohil Bhatia

to begin with no end.

A co-creation by Tushrik Fredericks & Rebecca Margolick.
Support for this project was provided by Danse Mirage Foundation, Inc, Trust for Mutual Understanding, and Baryshnikov Arts Center Artist Residency.

In a black and white image, Tushrik and Rebecca lie together on the ground. The camera is close to them and we are seeing their faces close together, eyes closed. They are holding each other and look like they may be sleeping.
