Sound of Strings

On the right screen I am threading my face which is a form of epilation and is common practice in Middle Eastern countries This method of threading is used in Iranian culture and it has been a part of my upbringing since a young age It is also a female bonding ritual one in which I share with the women in my life and it is typically performed in a private space This space is commonly reserved for story sharing and dialogue I attempt to bring the viewer into intimate contact with acts that are usually performed in private I attempt to create feelings of closeness and familiarity My performance becomes an offer of intimacy and access
