this piece shows the way that intimacy manifests itself through the phone — whether it’s through texts or phone calls.

first, we complied a publication reflecting on our theme. we then asked people to text or leave a voicemail anonymously to our phone number asking the question “if you could call anyone, what would you say to them?” we displayed everyone’s heartwarming texts on a paper curtain, mixed audio with all of their voices played through a red telephone displayed and placed their written messages on a poster behind the curtain.

the public’s response was beneficial to making this project whole and complete. we thank everyone who participated for sharing a part of themselves and their life to include in this piece.
