Is there peace in limbo? Are there sacrifices in air? What’s security in suspension? When do we plummet, filled to capacity?
In Capacities of Suspension , I traverse the realm of limbo where friction finds its place in the equilibrium of the in-between. This intangible dance becomes a metaphor for black queer existence/survival, a teetering between an intergenerational archive of extinguished personhood and an earnest attempt to forge an entirely new sense of self. Through the embodiment of fiber consumed pieces and vessels, each suspended in varying states of tension, I contemplate the transient nature of grief, security, and desire. These pieces serve as a conduit for describing the indescribable- an attempt to recall the arduous assessments one makes in the face of their own evolution.
