As Much as I Can

Single-Channel Video & Sound;
Performative Embroidery
01:00 (loop), 2025

This is not just a metaphor;
I have told it to as many people as I could.

The result?
A law–rights–justice attempt that never even reached a conclusion;
the torment of an endless search for solutions.
And the “suggestions” box is right in front of you.

This work stages harassment—made prone to repetition by the cycle of “ignoring–isolating–covering up–impunity” we meet in so-called resolution processes—through personal experience and a performance that pushes bodily limits; it calls the viewer into shared responsibility.

It examines harassment in professional settings through “handwork,” giving the floor to embroidery—needle and thread—that has carried stories across time. The sound composition voices a scenario in which power/interest relations in the professional art world collide with ethics. While exposing the offered answers and “suggestions,” the legal solitude, and social-media “blocks” as evasive strategies that solve nothing, it opens a debate where art grows akin to the spineless rhetoric of those in power.

I say “as much as I can,” because witnessing alone is not enough.
Until these “suggestions” change, these stories will keep being told…
