HOW TO SURRENDER w/  PANCONESI
2024

Inspired by the ritualistic symbolism of the serpent—an emblem of transformation, rebirth, and sensuality—How to Surrender is a visual meditation on Shibari as an intimate, emotional art form. Here, tying becomes a ritual of care, connection, and beauty.

The film reimagines Shibari not through the lens of BDSM, but as a deeply symbolic act of adoration—where rope becomes an extension of touch, and surrender is an offering of trust. We move through tactile vignettes: skin, metal, rope, and nature intertwine. Textures become language. The body becomes canvas.

The visual tone is soft, reverent, and sensual—infused with the quiet power of ritual. Panconesi jewelry appears not as ornament, but as part of the ceremony—snakes coiling delicately around limbs, glistening at points of tension and release.
