Line explores the interplay between the human body and surrounding infrastructure to generate dynamic geometric compositions. Twins Jennifer and Justine Hsu, directors of Evoke Dance Company, perform with elastic bands that symbolize the evolving tensions, connections, and boundaries between them. As they move, the twisting and stretching of the bands create a living, animated drawing—where tighter twists yield finer lineweights and wider bands form bolder strokes. Together, the sisters build an abstract sense of “home,” physically and emotionally, tracing human-scale linework in motion.
