i found a speck of pepper
on my lips and it burned
'memories at times jump
from eyelashes to to cracked lips
and hide in crevices, waiting
to be excavated by desperate tongues
speaking in languages unheard of
long dead, like the grain of Pepper
searching for salt, interrupted
by tongue and teeth.
- i found a speck of pepper on my lips and it burned.'

this work uses a combination of found footage and original footage to create a collage. it creates a juxtaposition between the constant influx of information and emotions that we experience everyday, and the remembrance of past times and memories that we try to relive again and again - the result of which is a feeling, an odd one that is a mixture of comfort and discomfort, of remembrance and forgetfulness.
