The title of the performance is derived from a poem by the artist responding to her personal, poignant memories of unfortunateness in life. Grace comes from Latin origin, meaning “goodness” and “generosity”. Grace also carries multiple meanings regarding the quality of goodness and kindness. As well as an approval or kindness that is freely given by God to all humans, it means a period of time left or allowed before something happens or something must be done. Therefore, the artist takes the performance as an expression of questioning and soul-searching about the trials and tribulations of life.
