'Oppression' Exhibition 2016, Filmed Performance Piece with Live Installation. I Am.

I am.

I am

Ask, Don't tell. And in the silence I will find a way, to answer.

I am woman. I am fantasy.  I am here. 

I am free.... I am here....  I am happy....

I am happy... I am free... I am here...

I am here.... I am happy... I am free...

I am strength... I am sound... I am here.

I am free.... I am here....  I am happy....

I am happy... I am free... I am here...

I am here.... I am happy... I am free...

I am  peace... I am perfect ... I am here

I am free.... I am here....  I am happy....

I am happy... I am free... I am here...

I am here.... I am happy... I am free...

I am healthy... I am smiling... I am here

I am free.... I am here....  I am happy....

I am happy... I am free... I am here...

I am here.... I am happy... I am nothing but happy

I am who you say I am.

As a form of documentation, I decided to have my performance filmed. However, little emphasis was placed on the technicality of the film, as the importance of the live performance was far greater to the concept I was exploring, than recording the content. I am aware that the quality of the sound is rather mute, and so above is the script for the performance piece; the composition of the text holding equal importance to the performance.
