About the work

The megaphone, with its faded tape and dented plastic, suggests a previous life of urgent, if perhaps unheeded, warnings. It has been repurposed here, now tasked with projecting the fragile, hopeful tones of an amateur performance. This shift, from warning to song, reveals something about the adaptability of tools, and more broadly, about the human impulse to transform the utilitarian into the expressive. The objects around us, designed for one purpose, often find themselves serving another, accruing new meanings in their altered roles. The stage itself, a temporary structure in a parking lot, echoes this improvisation, a ready-made arena for a transient ambition. This quiet repurposing, this gentle reorientation of intent, feels like the slow, almost accidental accumulation of grace.
