PROWL delves into the journey of two huntresses' determination, fragility and willingness to fight. With slow agile crawls and fast decisive attacks, they weave intricate webs to enchant their prey, revealing the immense power, readiness and emotional preparation needed to pursue the hunt. The immense uncertainty as to whether they themselves will become prey pushes them, again and again, to prove their ability to survive in a brutal world. This piece thus visually and somatically depicts the various realities of the burden of becoming and staying ‘The Huntress.’
