Arthlete: Embodied Research and Pugilism is a short film exploring the artist’s body as a site of inquiry. Through boxing drills, breathwork, and repetitive training, the work investigates pugilism as a form of embodied research—where strength, vulnerability, and somatic memory intersect. Drawing from gladiatorial histories and contemporary performance practice, the film examines how the body learns, adapts, resists, and emerges through physical discipline.
