You Will Forever Be Enough

My project, You Will Forever Be More Than Enough, was inspired by my daughter entering kindergarten and “the six-year transformation” and me entering perimenopause. Both of us are experiencing major life transitions. 

Bodies are changing - both of us are feeling uncomfortable and moody. We are also changing emotionally and intellectually - while still very much connected, we are also separating and growing into new versions of ourselves. 

The video I created shows me attempting to relearn how to fly a kite. I try. I fail. I try again. Fail again. I keep going. Over and over, day after day. The kite is my daughter’s height and the image of her belly button. The accompanying audio is of my daughter learning to read moves through 2-, 3-, and 4- 4-syllable words and, eventually, stories. Meaningful work that will further open her world.

You Will Forever Be More Than Enough illustrates that while we remain deeply connected, we are separating.
