Kanti is not interested in perfect technique or flawless execution. Instead, he focuses on the landscape left behind by the body. A spin, a step, the weight of a landing—breaking creates far more lines than one might expect. The abstract forms created by intersecting blue and black lines are not mere drawings but visual archives recording the body's trajectory.
His work, which truly begins after the dance ends, explores the boundary between the ephemeral and the enduring in movement. Unlike dance, which disappears when the performance concludes, Kanti captures and preserves those moments visually. This approach expands breaking culture into the realm of art while documenting the language of the body in an entirely new way.
