State Care and Its Complex Aftermath
Is it art when you use your body to map the scars of trauma? Is it art when random images are pieced together under the title 'State Care and Its Complex Aftermath'? These images are fragments of not-a-childhood. They do exactly map a true history of 'not- a- childhood' and its complex aftermath, erased by the state.
