Things I Cannot Say is a project that discusses the feelings of the female who finds herself unable to speak up about issues that are important to her. Her social norms reinforce that it is improper to state how she truly feels, and so she is confined to silence.
Dealing with the issues of the differences between genders, the artist seeks to create objects that signify her silence but then empower her and allow her to speak out. By creating sculptural forms that bring separate entities together, a space is created that allows for a change in power dynamics, leading to the ability to speak.
