Me is We

Gibraltar Island, Canada 2012

Instructions: 
Inhale deeply. Exhale completely, one time, into the bag and seal.
To be done with two or more people at any first encounter.

As an alternative to a traditional introduction, I invite each person in the group to exhale into a plastic bag at the same moment. These breaths are then sealed and left to drift through the space during our time together—a quiet reminder of our shared, essential humanity that transcends names or ethnic origins. Each bag takes on a distinct form, yet their material evokes both fragility and disposability, prompting reflection on presence, connection, and impermanence.
