Blurring The Self (2021–current) is an evolving participatory performance and video art work, exploring the underwater metamorphosis of the self, as it strives for both individual and collective harmony. In this one-on-one experience, Verónica Peña invites participants to symbolically dissolve the barriers to human unity through an underwater headshake—a gesture that signifies disagreement in some cultures, affirmation in others.As Verónica describes: “In the stillness of water, there is a profound place where we can shake off the boundaries that separate us. It’s in that moment of immersion that we find the possibility of unity.”
We welcome you to join this co-creative process of personal discovery and transformation. in appreciation, you will receive an underwater photograph capturing your immersion.�
