Making our way with all the lights that we have in our being, with all our courage, sincerity, patience, and persistence, is a good method for achieving happy results. This piece is the consequence of decisions that I have made as a way of life; it's a reminder to never give up, no matter how dark the road may be.
This piece is a performance where I stand in front of a great dark wall and, with my back to the public, carry lights in my hands; candles that I light when it begins. A video is projected on my back, wherein one of my hands scratches a phrase on a wall:
“To do everything possible
and not grow weary, to believe in myself,
to always fight with all my strength
so that the lights of my energy
and desires illuminate my own way.”
