" By no means is this piece condemning, or glorifying suicide. I used the imagery of a weaverbird, making a noose as the foundation for a nest, to symbolize the sacrifices we make to built a family but also as an inescapable judgement: some of our foundations are wrong from the start. It’s hard to untangle a wrong assumption or judgement, especially when it’s been at the core of our existence, I mean this at every level: individual but also society as a whole. For me this piece is a reminder to accept my own shortcomings & forgive myself, rather than judge myself by unobtainable high standards: e.g. have some self compassion & the faint hope, that we can change our ways."
