every last word

this work was displayed at the institute of contemporary art in chattanooga, tennessee from november 2, 2023 to december 2, 2023.

healing: the process in which a bad situation or painful emotion ends or improves

every last word is an installation piece inspired by the book every last word by tamera ireland stone. the book is about a girl who finds herself and begins to heal through poetry. the work captures the beauty of healing and the power of expression through not only the vulnerability of the art, but through their suspension. the poems are all my words. they are all my real feelings. the items all represent my own experience with healing.
