My tooth i took away ( during the time i had exhibition)

4:20 AM in the morning: I wake up!

I have lots of things on my mind.
Looking through yourself requires courage, confessing.
Considering all the things that comprise you, all the good , all the bad.

Three years old: rules dictated.

Seven years old: cover your body.

Nine years old: breasts appear and you begin to slouch.

Ten years old: your period arrives. You tell no one.

Twelve years old: feelings evolve that must be denied.

Fourteen years old: in love or is this lust?

Seventeen years old: How do I please everyone, my parents, society? I am discovering ways… but in the process I forget myself. Only in secret do I allow thoughts of self, concealing my desires.

...

20 years later:

Out of nowhere I arrive somewhere else. No one is like me. No shared history.
Everything is brought into question.Years of experiences — unpacked.What I formerly concealed, I begin to share, my body, my identity,
my experience through these things. I have a form of freedom now yet struggle to access it.
I am in everything here. The electrical cord, the body parts.
I cut parts of my body, I know this is an ugly behavior, but I can no longer conceal,
I must express my truth, I must be.
