— exploring transformation, identity, politics, ecology and international exchange.

Core Thesis

My practice explores the body–nature continuum, where the body becomes archive, ecosystem, and instrument of knowing. Through a somatic lens, I investigate how movement, perception, memory, ecology, and consciousness shape transformation—understanding the body not as separate from nature, but as a living extension of it.

My practice is a continuous inquiry into the body as a carrier of memory — personal, ancestral, ecological — and as a medium for international exchange.

My practice explores the somatic relationship between body, nature, and consciousness, using movement as embodied knowledge to investigate transformation, interdependence, and our more-than-human existence. I approach the body as a carrier of personal, ancestral, and ecological memory, while examining how these embodied experiences intersect with the climate crisis and spatial politics. Through movement, immersive encounters, and international exchange, my work creates spaces for reflection on our interconnectedness with one another and the more-than-human world.

Pillars of Practice

Multidisciplinary Inquiry

Spatial Choreography

Sculptural Installation

Research Exploration

Dynamic movement research exploring the body's interaction with architectural and natural environments.

Tactile works in bronze and natural materials, creating immersive physical experiences within gallery spaces.

Investigating somatic ecologies at the intersection of art, movement, and environmental science.

Artistic Research

Somatic Ecologies

Artistic research · in progress

My artistic research investigates how embodied, somatic practice can attune us to ecological systems — how the body learns from soil, root, and breath, and how that knowledge reshapes art, ethics, and politics.

Situated at the intersection of Art × Science, the project brings together choreography, field research in West African and European landscapes, and dialogue with ecologists — proposing a practice of listening with, rather than acting upon, the living world.

Institutional Collaborations

Samuel welcomes inquiries for commissions, curatorial partnerships, and academic engagements.
