WORLDBODY
By ara oshin
Each WORLDBODY photograph is an invitation to experience expanded perception, revealing unseen universes within and around us. These photographs emerge through the collaborative engagement of the artist’s physical movements and sacred attunement with beings such as trees, flowers, stones, mushrooms, and the forces of time and transformation that shape our ever-evolving world.

arriving
and returning

belong
can you feel your heart beating inside?
can you feel the air
on the surface of your skin?

LAND and PEOPLE Multnomah and Chinook, Kathlamet and Wasco, Cowlitz and Clackamas, Molalla and Tualatin and Kalapuya.
these are the the names that i know of those who create and have created life on this land where i live: Portland, OR.
i feel the loss of those whose names and ways i may never get to learn from or with. i am so grateful for opportunites to connect, listen, return, and regenerate. i have been profoundly impacted on a cellular level by offerings of indigenous teachers of turtle island and beyond.
