“No More Walls’ Is an audio-visual installation rectifying my relationship to sensuality. It tells a story of how I couldn't cry for seven years and what happened when I finally allowed myself to feel everything.

Inspired by Anais Nin’s poem about wild emotions, I assembled a safe space that encouraged an environment which acknowledged and empowered vulnerable emotions and made me feel seen, heard and understood.

I mainly worked with a handy cam in order to add a sense of intimacy to my project. The low quality footage stands in as a metaphor for how I look at my past, being less about the perfect shot and more about the atmospherical affect it has on me.

Colours have been chosen for the connotations they have: beige represents numbness, while red symbolises death as well as life. Following the rhythm of rebirth & awakenings, the sequence repeats itself the same way my mind revisits talismanic moments from my past, representing non- linearity of time.

Incorporating my father humming a melody, birdsongs from my childhood videotapes and an original poem has guided me to radical honesty, to freedom and a state where I take deep breaths & don’t feel the need to explain myself.

The project weaves together childhood memories, contemporary moving image, sound and scanned journal pages to explore my new found joy and zest for life - an ode to vulnerability and a celebration of messy, human emotions.
