What is Left
Project Description
Based on Ariana Harwich's
text 'Kill, Love', the artwork examines the boundaries between sacrifice and
self-determination in a love relationship and what is ultimately left when you give yourself completely.
Earth, water and fire are elements that could be read differently but in this piece they become the ingredients in the process of healing and nourishment.
Every time he fucks me
I blink
And it’s like cutting down a tree.
I look at him staring at me and I know I’m gonna puke in the woods.
I look at him and I know I’ll have beak, claws, bird plumage.
I’m talking loud, I’m drooling, I’m still cute.
I seek to belong to him.
I give him my skull, scraped off.
Take it.
I give him my brain.
I give him my stretched skin. Pull it.
I give him my eyelids, I don’t care if I lose them.
Let my eyes dry with a blink, I don’t care if I lose them
I fall on the side of the road
I fall apart and they offer me a glass of water.
