I was inspired by Zanele Muholi’s portrait with rope and Stelarc’s cyborg. It’s about merging my high school and college experiences. I am in my childhood bedroom with my high school graduation stole and colored pencils spilled and unused over my abandoned backpack. I am in worn-through polka-dot pajama pants. But college level textbooks and clothes I brought to the dorms are scattered around as I stare at my laptop. I am covered in cords, mostly broken headphones which also hang behind my stole.
