Not all those who wander are lost.

The performance aims to explore the possible meanings of the protectiveness and the reflection given by the space blankets covering the bodies of migrants. Through the heat-reflective blankets, artist uses her presence and body as a mirror to create a possible connection between her, the migrants and the audience.
