Eve Genua Creative Director, Producer, Visual Artist "I am an open door that no man can shut" - this phrase became a guiding mantra, a reminder on how we can choose Love over Fear by inviting others in our "intimate space". |
Dyad Love Musician, Composer, Visual Artist "There is no static, neutral position - we are always moving on an ascending spiral of love, or a descending spiral of fear (expansion vs contraction). Art making/creation is our birthright as humans and essential to overcoming every challenge and passing every test on our soul’s journey of evolution. Immersive experiences are powerful rituals to break through barriers that keep us from expressing the art that we are and hold within. Caring for the sound in this environment, I hope to support Eve’s world building and hold us as we enter new worlds together." |
Úrsula Infinita Movement Artist & Experience Designer "Death and Love are my only certainties in life. The countless forms of fear they’ve challenged me with have drawn me closer to the truth. Today, I stand surrounded by a garden filled with the Love I’ve chosen, again and again, over fear. Until death finally kisses the fear away, I choose to explore the endless diversity within this garden. Will you join us?" |
Ivan Castro Performer, Multidisciplinary Artist "Fear is necessary to be brave, and I'm afraid, pain is necessary to know love. I'm thrilled to be part of such an extraordinary project where love's different spectrums are represented so creatively to awaken our senses" |
Ana Rebolledo Somatic Guide, Embodiment Life Coach In the language of the body, love and fear are expressed as sensations. Fear contracts me, separates me; love expands and connects me. I discovered that these tensions coexist within the intimacy of my being, as memories of bonds and past experiences, weaving my decisions from the depths of the unconscious. Through the metaphor of movement and somatics, I learned to listen to those stories, to inhabit them, and gradually, to transform them. When dancing, the body becomes the door, and movement the key to love. |
Dan Stringer Performer, Creative entrepreneur "Our lives are guided and illustrated by stories: those we borrow from others and those we author ourselves. Fear is the sensation we feel when we reach the boundaries of our stories without knowing what might lie beyond. I see participating in the act of authentic storytelling as a means of healing fear; as a way of offering new texts for borrowing and building the chapters of our lives. What is love if not a narrative welcoming what was, is and might be, and declaring it beautiful?" |
Tessa Straver Food Artist, Designer & Storyteller "Love and fear go hand in hand; fear signals that we care, that we feel love. My most transformative moments have happened when I felt both scared and excited, but chose love over fear. Through this I believe we open doors to growth and we expand our capacity for connection. I’m thrilled to see Eve’s work come to life and support her vision through food, using taste, touch and aroma to evoke deep emotions and enrich this experience" |
Buse Lua Kanlikilic Decor Artist, Tattooist, Muralist, Multidisciplinary Artist "Being part of Intimate Space feels like an invitation to dive deeply into textures of connection. I’m hinting at this story through tattooed pomegranates and apples—symbols of fertility and the sensuality woven into each intimate moment. Each fruit bears symbols and sigils that echo the emotions and energies of this play. To me, love is an electric, open state that invites vulnerability and wonder. It’s leaning into our desires, letting them manifest and touch others’ hearts, awakening a deep sense of remembering, rather than shrinking back in fear. Through every line and symbol, I hope to translate that softening, grounding this story in art that shows what’s possible when we choose love’s freedom over fear’s restraint" |
Alexa Ashley Photo&Videographer, Multidisciplinary Artist, Graphic&Web Designer "We are always floating on the line somewhere between love and fear. How we choose to act defines our life. If we’ve acted out of fear our life will feel numb and look boring. If we’ve acted out of love it will feel intense and look interesting. This project interests me in it’s vulnerability and voyeurism—subject I’m exploring. There’s something juicy, exciting and liberating about exposing our bodies, our hearts—ourselves. The intense pain and pleasure when we choose love. The depressive disassociation and ambivalence when we choose fear. It’s in the sharing of these intimate truths that we gain connection to ourselves and to others. We feel a sense of belonging and empathy when another being witnesses our truth and divulges their own. My mission is to eradicate shame and fear and this project is helping to achieve this" |
