Hope, 2020 

​

​

This work highlights the struggles that people face due to lack of communication that result in making them feel alone, and we all go through the same feelings but different situations and experiences. We also express these feelings in different manners. This is a performance-based work where I use three phrases which are “I’m missing you”, “It aches” and “I feel empty” and wrote each phrase on a paper repeatedly in a very subtle way symbolizing the act of hiding these feelings. After filling the papers with recitation, I then wrote a phrase in reply to the previous phrases and covered it with a band-aid. The band-aid resembles the act of healing and hope needed when feeling this way. The work is meant to be spread amongst people publicly where they choose which phrase speaks to them the most and investigate it and make it their own.
