I tested my project proposal.
I was not satisfied.
There is something so beautiful between two strangers sharing their deepest fears; their deepest vulnerabilities. This thing, this moment cannot become tangible; no matter how hard I force it too. I can’t recreate this moment of purity. More importantly I can’t recreate the moment of relief that comes after the confession; the moment the weight was lifted.
I have decided the moment is the work.
I never thought I would do a performance piece. I don’t have the courage. Slowly these strangers gave me the courage; gave me the freedom to be vulnerable with them. Many of these moments are ones that I will never forget. And for that, I thank you strangers. Thank you for sharing a moment with me even though we didn’t know each others’ names.
For everyone else, I wish you could have been there.
