A statement by the artist
[If you are wondering that I am the same body, you are completely wrong. If you have not thought about the moment of my birth, then you have never kissed me/never hugged/never raised me (I am referring to my mother).]
Poor Knee; Trigger Finger is a nonlinear visual narrative exploring the complex intersection of identity and gender through fragmented memories of indeterminate bodies. Grounded in exploring the body during moments of internal forgetfulness—instances meant to remain untouched, with ghosts of the past trying to bury them in history’s dark cave, destined to be forgotten.
