My Story, Let Me Tell It — Act I, 2024
Further images
My Story, Let Me Tell It — Act I presents the phrase “My Story, Let Me Tell It” applied in adhesive vinyl onto a mirror. The surface reflects whoever stands before it, while the statement intervenes in that image.
The work affirms authorship over one’s own narrative in contexts where stories are often interpreted, corrected or appropriated by others. The phrase shifts the act of narration away from the external gaze and returns it to the subject who lives the experience.
The mirror ceases to function only as a reflective surface. It reveals that identity is produced in the encounter between image, language and social gaze. Between what is seen and what is said about what is seen, a field of dispute opens.
By seeing themselves reflected alongside the statement, viewers are implicated in this operation. The work does not offer identity as representation; it asserts the right to narrate oneself and to occupy public space in one’s own voice.
