What Keeps You Up At Night? A Nude Floor Exhibit — an exhibition of my stills + prints from Dance Film: Unravel by Shayna Cua

In wanting to disappear, evaporate and hide, I got to know myself more. I became aware of my existence.

I lay awake at night and I feel the weight of my presence — my skin, my hair, my breath, my consciousness acknowledging that I am here.

To exist is very different from living, I know that now. Something happened to me and since then, I can say for certain that there are only a few moments in my life that I truly felt alive.

This is changing my relationship with the work that I do. You can call it a paradox: someone who has always wanted to run, hide and disappear gives life to things. A life that will outlast her. A photograph.

Besides breathing, photography too reminds me of my existence. Working with Shayna and Nude Floor has to be one of those feeling alive moments. To exhibit the work we did, and to share space with others in celebration, that goes beyond the edges of my existence and offers a deep knowing that I am truly here.

Nothing seems so sure than this right here.
