Each of these artworks serves as a snapshot of expressive comfort.
In the private space of a rented karaoke room, I connect with inspiration to rage, cry, and emote.
I get to experience a union of other artist’s art with my own inner world. Some lyrics are prayers, some are statements, and all of it is political and spiritual.
Like how I feel when I play musical instruments, the acts of singing and dancing through my emotions have therapeutic messages in the sounds of release.
The simplicity of the words on the screens are nostalgic for a pre-internet existence. Lines of text in analog, simple glowing light, potentially representing cathartic breakthroughs.
