This photo series is a documentary of the turmoil experienced during the creative process. It depicts the highs and lows that drive artists’ personal and professional growth, symbolised here through the medium of movement.

Images were captured as Maycie-Ann St-Louise, a movement director and dancer based in Montreal, instructed the London-based models via screen. Shifting from solo to group work, the models enact the creative practice as it flows back and forth between the self and the collective. This hold and release, every creative will know, causes a ripple that forces you to trust in your personal evolution that informs that of a larger whole.
