Remembering

Remembering employs confessional performance to consider sexual trauma from an interior and psychological perspective. Through a simultaneously soothing and painful ritual, the viewer can observe the stages of recovery from denial to acceptance and healing.

The project is a multi-channel installation with sound and sheer textiles. The arrangement of the installation takes on the form of a maze to mirror the complexities of the human mind as it navigates grief, trauma, and recovery; around each corner, a new set of monitors can be seen.
