Movement & Flow as an Expression of Inner States and the Unseen Forces that Shape Experience

The Unseen Essential is an exploration of the invisible yet undeniable forces that shape our lived experience—the undercurrents of culture, identity, love, and embodiment. Inspired by the Yin-Yang movement, this black and white diptych series captures the pulse of life, the primal ebb and flow that exists within and around us.

Long before words, movement was our first language. As both an artist and somatic practitioner, I have always been drawn to the body as a vessel of expression, carrying the stories we do not always speak. This work invites the viewer into that quiet space—where the seen meets the unseen, where form dissolves into felt experience. It is an invitation to listen, not just with the eyes, but with the whole body, to the rhythms that shape us.

"There is an unseen essential that is intrinsic, universal, and guiding everyone who listens."
—Djinane AlSuwayeh
