In the face of forces beyond his control, he turns to ritual, a journey of deep inner transmutation.
Through shamanic practice, Atonan records the process, capturing the raw confrontation
between the elements and the human, the action and the observation.

Atonan moves as fire moves—unraveling, consuming, becoming. In the dance, there is both an invocation and a surrender, a ritual of loss and revelation. The body dissolves into the rhythm of flames, into the contours of plants, into the pulse of something older than movement itself. Masked, nameless, Atonan ceases to be one and becomes many, transmuting destruction into devotion, longing into presence. There is no audience here—only the offering, only the burning.
