Project Description
house of to be
The house is where you come from but will no longer go. Where a new grief sparks the older griefs you thought were sturdy. The griefs that were your foundation, layers first then walls and doors, an attic, a shed. Time, human limits, and memory. A changing identity and the illusion of a stable one. Here is an exploration that resists narrative, the discovery of a shifting identity through sensitivity of movement.
