The installation Understood/Understand is a meditation on what it means to listen, but not to hear. The blending of incoherent conversations, and metronomic waves asks the question: what care do we lose sight (or sound) of, when caught in the ebbs and flows of oppressive systems? This installation is made up of audio recordings of conversations had with members of the South Etobicoke community, melodized and manipulated by use of digital synthesizers and effects. This art work was a part of a group exhibit titled For all, I care (2021), which examined how existing systems harm or help, exploit or nurture us depending on our social location.
