330 Khmer Words | Drawing | Installation | 2014

330 Khmer Words extend similar themes from Untitled (Three Walls), but mainly encompasses the notion of memory in language. Although I understand these words only when others speak them, there is a struggle to retrieve each word on my own and create a sentence to speak back. These are Khmer words that I have remembered, and out of those 330, the only word spoken is “mom”, which is filled with black ink.
