DANAKA’s work emerges from the fertile ground between choreography and visual art, capturing the precise moment where movement crystallizes into form. Rooted in decades of dance and shaped by her years in New York and current base in Oaxaca, she extracts single frames from video-dance sequences and prints them onto transparent silk. These works — shifting, luminous, and nearly sculptural — reveal the body as both presence and memory, an image that breathes with the light and space around it. Photographed within intimate interiors, her performers oscillate between exposure and restraint, allowing vulnerability to become an active material.  Through this distillation of motion into stillness, DANAKA uncovers the moment where body, matter, and psyche converge.
