About 'I am here,'
I’ve been afraid of being in a room with someone else. I would hold my breath. It felt like the blood in my veins stopped flowing.
A fear of interacting with uncertainty.
Yet I longed to get close to others. And when they are asleep, every part of me settles.
In this project, I found people who invited me to sleep in their bed while they slept in the same room. I extracted part of my true self and blew it up, to make ‘her’ into my puppet to tell a story or an episode of emotion. The desperation within the crushing of consciousness and unconsciousness, desire and fear, presence and absence of a ‘human being’, all being presented among the bodies and interiors.
