CLAUSTROPHILiA

Cleaning, arranging, shifting, being present. We decided on this to share a lesser seen side of who we are and what we do. CLAUSTROPHILiA is not just some ephemeral act, but it is an embodiment of what happens between us on a regular basis. We have articulated representations of friendship, respect and remembrance while negotiating a narrative of adversity compounded by our own human shortcomings. Being present can mean so much more than “being there”, and being there can mean so much more than being “present”. Being present. Kinship always. Here, after and hereafter.​​​​​​​
