ILLUSIONS
Mixed media (acrylic plexiglass → digital) | 120 cm | Lisbon, Portugal | 2023
Created during a live-performance collaboration alongside Luzingo, ‘EGO’ was painted in real time amidst dancers, poets, and musicians. Digitised and edited into an album cover, it reflects improvisation, emotional depth, and dreamlike states of movement and identity
Live Performance at Vortex London
Created in real time, ILLUSIONS responds to improvised sound, dance, and spoken word—translating energy into layered visual gestures. As the piece unfolded, artist Lara Buffard simultaneously crafted a costume from the painted papers, which the dancer wore during the performance—highlighting the fusion between visual art, body, and motion.
