PER(SEVER)E, is a durational performance piece where Tshedzom moves through internal and physical dialogues that channel the elements, space, and the body. Surrounded by 108 red strings, she performs for 8 days with a total of 48 hours. Slowly throughout the performance, Tshedzom releases the strings of “the self” that envelop her space. Inspired by Machig Labdron and the Chod lineage, she imagines severing ideas of attachment to self and her habitual ways of perceiving. Improvisational  scores draw from the five elements seen in the Kalachakra Cosmology illustration, which shows the interdependent relationship between the elements, the human body, and the universe.
