Dancing for the sacral chakra includes intuitive and fluid movements of the lower belly and hips. These movements awaken creativity, sensuality and help to evoke stuck emotions or stored trauma in the body. “Sacral” is an ode to this practice as it has led Nikki to process her emotions and work through traumas.
She propped up a mirror in her studio and danced in the space she had, painting on the canvas in between movements and using herself as a point of reference. Her brush strokes are flowing, eluding to the energy vibrating off her body as she danced. Iridescent paint shines through the canvas as the viewer moves to different sides of it.
