This is an experimental performance developed on the premise of exploring the mother-daughter relationship during my Advanced Master at Sint Lucas Antwerpen. By manipulating a sphere equipped with a live camera, I explore the interaction between the physical and virtual realms.
In a series of performances involving the body and the sphere, I ask myself: “How do I view and understand my life through a non-linear, non-normative lens of queer migration?” This perspective helps me bridge the distance and closeness shaped by migrant life experiences—the absence of moments that cannot be fully expressed and shared in my mother tongue, and the sense of loss in realizing the inability to create shared memories after attempting to communicate with my mother.
My creative process has led me to re-examine the subtle relationship between family memory and the traces of life shared between mother and daughter by continuing to establish a visual language of communication that transcends both the mother tongue and foreign languages.
