Watercolour pencil on tracing paper

The exhibition title originates from a private, intimate conversation that was held exactly one year ago — a moment when something felt lodged in the throat and the eyes brimmed with tears. Her mouth opened, but only silence came. Her lips moved as if to form a single word, and failed. That instant — when the right word to express, articulate, or speak for ourselves slips away — is the exhibition’s point of departure.
 

From that moment, the exhibition explores both external and internal, searching the ordinary, fraught moments the artist never managed to communicate to her families, especially across generations where kinship is complicated, and language can fracture. The exhibition weaves texts, drawings, installations, and performance into a therapeutic ritual: an attempt to revisit, reconcile, and rewrite the personal histories of childhood. In the exhibition, “she” doesn’t point only to the artist herself but also profoundly relates to other female figures in the family- they all, to different degrees, ran out of their words.
