“Things I Can’t Say” is an immersive exploration of identity, vulnerability, and self-consciousness, drawing inspiration from influential artists like WhtMakesYou, Were Not Really Strangers, Geloy Concepcion, and Rosanna Jones. Through a fusion of scratched still photographs and mesmerizing video narratives, this exhibit serves as a mirror to concealed vulnerabilities and societal personas. Each deliberate scratch on the canvas echoes the marks we carry, beckoning viewers into a compelling journey of self-discovery.
The project integrates contemporary technology and social media platforms to provide a comprehensive platform for understanding and expression. However, the vision evolved into a more intimate approach—five prints accompanied by looping video narratives in a pristine white gallery space. The central question in the videos, “Tell me a time you were vulnerable and what was happening. How did it affect you?” forms the crux of the visual exploration, bridging the gap between shared experiences and accompanying images.
