At the Pocoapoco residency, I developed a daily practice of braiding as a way to orient myself to space, place, and community. Each day, I extended the braid by stitching the previous day's rope to the present day's with embroidery thread, allowing the piece to grow over time.
The braid became an interactive object—other residents joined in, adding their own braids, flowers, and even using it as a jump rope. This evolving practice invited shared engagement, dissolving the divide between individual creation and collective participation, re-orienting to the object itself as an ongoing movement practice.
