Artists statement
“Maybe here” is a constant thought running through the back of my mind that something might happen where I’m standing.
Tension builds at the slightest sound or suggestion of movement. How much of this fear is self-perpetuated and how much of it is warranted. How different would my experience be if I was someone else.
