In my daily life, I work within the school system. Its participants – the teachers and students – operate under the pressure and rigid structures of the educational system. I walk the corridors and feel the gap between what is and what ought to be, between myself and my students: I love them and I love the act of teaching, and I find joy when they take part in the pleasure of learning.  But today’s school embodies a system in which my passions and joys are replaced by hierarchical authority, by power dynamics and by learning driven by necessity rather than choice.

In my work, I play with materials drawn from the school itself: submitted assignments, conversations I have done and heard

, and power dynamics that have become embedded over time. Through these, I attempt to dismantle the system and reconstruct the relationships between myself and teachers, and between myself and students
