How Can I Talk With You is an intimate reflection on the circumstances that lead to a breakdown in communication, and how to overcome it. It begins with the arrest of a loved one. The project explores the complexities of communication in the context of imprisonment, as well as the emotional challenges experienced by those on the outside.
Through rhythmic sequencing and a series of photographs, it focuses on the emotional and psychological toll that separation from a loved one can take. It delves into themes of absence and connection, as well as the barriers that arise when traditional forms of communication are hindered.
Addressing the broader societal implications of imprisonment, How Can I Talk With You challenges conventional narratives about crime and punishment. It urges viewers to consider the human stories behind the statistics and encourages reflection on the impact of the justice system on families and communities.
