In the Middle of a Smile: Description of work
In the Middle of a Smile
Singapore, January 2024
What happens in that moment… that can pass in an instant… or sometimes unfold into eternity?
In what ways do we reveal ourselves?
If we enter that vulnerable space between… to what do we open ourselves?
The pandemic challenged our notions of distance, connection, time, energy, trust
And to be together now, in this intimate space, is wonderful.
The piece is called “in the middle of a smile”.
What happens in that moment… that can pass in an instant… or sometimes unfold into eternity?
In what ways do we reveal ourselves?
If we enter that vulnerable space between… to what do we open ourselves?
