THE CONCEPT: Breaking The Rules To Cadence Zero is an immersive artistic experience that transcends conventional boundaries through a multidisciplinary, non-binary, and free-expression approach. The exhibition employs cutting-edge technological capabilities such as 3D modeling and rendering, virtual reality, 360-degree tours, live video, and visuals with 3D Chromadepth and glow-in-the-dark effects. The show invites the viewer to disconnect from the frenzied cadence of life, to take time to acknowledge, pause, and enjoy the art before them with their mind, body, and soul.

The composition of the exhibition seeks to create intentional subtleties by contrasting different characters, entangling them, and emphasizing them with enlarged, cropped portraits, all to provoke the viewer's curiosity and attract their attention and enthusiasm. The result is a hypnotic effect that compels the viewer to pause and engage with the exhibition's various effects and visual stimuli.

Breaking The Rules To Cadence Zero consists of six long visuals, each painted with a chromatic palette that creates a natural 3-dimensional depth effect. Oversized sculptures, live performances, and musical arrangements complement the visuals, enhancing the immersive experience and transporting the viewer into a fantastical world. The friendly forms, warm palette, joyful colors, 3-dimensional chromatic depth, and a multitude of happy characters in combination with enchanting music, vocals, and live performances, take the viewer on a journey from one painting to the next, eliciting reflection and wonder.

The exhibition's ultimate purpose is simple: to encourage the viewer to pause and appreciate the beauty that surrounds them, simply because they can. Breaking The Rules To Cadence Zero offers a respite from the hectic pace of life and invites the viewer to embrace a moment of pure enchantment.

THE WORKS:

The paintings:
18 feet long each, printed on metal and installed at 90 cm above (3 feet above the stage floor) held and affixed to a multitude of coral reefs coming off the sand as if they emerged from underground, made with reflective aluminum material. This will provide a total of 109 feet long (5 feet high) hand-painted visual divided into 6 panels.

Choreography & Music arrangements
The dancers will grace the stage with captivating live performances, each lasting 60 seconds, and synchronized to a lively, world music remix. The choreography will showcase a diverse range of dance genres, including classical ballet, flamenco, belly dancing, tango, and Asian fusion, among others, with a total of up to 12 videos displayed on the stage's numerous TV screens. The recorded performances will be skillfully slowed down to highlight the performers' breath rhythm and emphasize the precise and demanding nature of their craft. This presentation serves to inspire viewers to recognize and appreciate the determination and hard work required to become a professional dancer. It is an invitation to follow one's passions and dreams, to face the challenges and obstacles along the way with courage, and to strive for the fulfillment of one's true potential.

The Recorded Performances:
To elevate the spectacle to new heights, the mesmerizing performances will be showcased on a free-standing vertical TV screen, featuring double-sided displays securely encased within a sleek metallic frame. Strategically arranged in a circular formation reminiscent of the hours on a clock, the screens will add an enchanting dimension to the overall presentation, further immersing the audience into the performance.

The sculptures:
The seven sculptures showcased in the exhibit are a striking embodiment of oversized characters that have been brought to life from the large paintings, creating an entirely new dimension. These unique sculptures are carefully crafted from a blend of premium-quality resin and metal to create a visually stunning effect that is sure to leave a lasting impression on the viewer. Free-standing and meticulously designed, each sculpture is a true masterpiece in its own right, showcasing the artist's unique talent and passion for pushing the boundaries of traditional art forms.

The set:
Drawing inspiration from a snow globe, the set design features a circular structure measuring 15 meters (50 feet) in diameter, elevated four feet from the ground to impart a grandiose dimension to the stage when illuminated. Its open-top configuration, resembling a window to the sky, not only affords an unparalleled view but also enables it to be captured from various angles, including aerial footage filmed by drones.
