Not Enough

2024

Installation.

An overarching feeling that you're not doing enough — you're not successful enough being a refugee in a foreign country, you're not working hard enough to achieve the standard of living you had before, you don't try hard enough to integrate because you still haven't learnt your 4th or 5th, you don't work enough to have the right to housing. The feeling that you’re not kind enough to everyone around you, not enough to love yourself enough. Not enough strength to try hard enough. Not enough compassion for all the tragedies. Not enough tolerance for all rudeness. Not enough. And then you encounter a billboard telling you: "You can achieve anything, you just have to want it enough"! Inappropriate mockery or motivation?...
