A still small voice charts the artist’s attempts at finding herself and her own voice, far removed from her family while on exchange at the Royal College of Art in London. Having been silenced for so long due to familial circumstances, she does not know who she is, what she wants to do in life nor how to live. Neither is she cognisant of her hopes and dreams. It documents her attempt at trying to find and regain her agency, and her will to live, after having battled depression and anxiety for close to a quarter of her life; to look beyond her predicament. A story of hope, the artist uses photography and confessional poetry as autoethnographic tools as well as psychogeography as an impetus and a means for her to hold on to life, to press through and to make sense of the perennial dark haze that engulfs yet, strangely, never fully consumes.
