This work represents a significant moment during a visit with family in Maui.

The recording serves as a powerful tool for me to process my own emotions and cope with

the challenges of mental illness

that I encountered on this trip. Rather than focusing on the intense and personal moments of a crisis,

this particular artwork explores the significance of the

more mundane moments.

By doing so, I aim to create a dialogue about mental illness that extends beyond the obvious and invites deeper understanding.

The piece opens up discussions about

mental illness

and its profound impact on families

without relying on intensely personal moments.

For me, this work holds immense meaning as it reflects my experience within the family system. By focusing on

the sonic qualities

of seemingly ordinary moments,

the artwork becomes more accessible, engaging viewers in a conversation about mental illness and its complexities.
