Pieces of Me

Pieces of Me is a performance work, what’s shown below is the edited documentation with enhanced audio. The performance itself is comprised of an audio clip of my personal writing, played over my movements and actions.

For me, this pieces is about vulnerability with truths about myself, my body, and my history. The traumatic experiences I’ve had when I was younger continue to present themselves in my body. I’ve only been able to put this into words through intensive self reflection and with the help of readings such as The Body Keeps Score by Bessel van der Kolk. His writing on the psychology and physiology of trauma, aided my understanding of my own experiences and has been a undeniable resource for my growth.
