Artist’s Statement
‘Something in Your Eyes’ is about identifying when someone has been affected by traumatic times. A rise of consciousness is needed in order to identify and recognise our connection to humanity. I was inspired by how humanity, as a whole, responded to the global pandemic crisis while still dealing with so many other unsolved injustices. The eyes never lie; trauma lives in the eyes, you can recognise someone’s trauma when you look. This video depicts me in my natural surroundings — it uses real footage of my sisterhood to represent empowering and holding space for one another.
