my thesis is about self.
environment and I,
people and she,
my piano and me,
–
my chosen mediums of
photography and media
are how I outwardly express feelings
that feel too foreign to show on my person.
–
this body of work represents the feelings space, place, &
people evoke in moments where I’m fully present.
an inwardly explored, outward portrayal.
I create from a place far removed.
a first person and omni-present experience that allows me to be present and in space.
spacey yet aware
–
I have been reteaching myself
feelings that I refuse to feel,
distance that I refuse to close,
relationships that I keep at a distance,
–
my work acts as a mirror.
a space I occupy with others.
a moment that I choose to share.
an action I choose to do.
–
a memory documented.
