What the Sheet Remembers explores the sheet as both a protective barrier and a witness to emotional residue. Using staining, veiling, and repetitive gestures, the work transforms the sheet into an active participant, one that absorbs, records, and re-enacts psychological traces. The material becomes a surface of memory, marked by invisible labour and acts of survival. A variety of voices recite wellness affirmations which accompany the visuals, creating an uncanny dissonance that destabilises the language of self-help and wellness culture. The piece resists linear narrative, instead offering a looping structure that echoes the recursive nature of trauma and recovery. What the Sheet Remembers invites the viewer into an intimate, unsettled space where emotion is made material, and where the failure to cleanse or contain becomes a site of quiet resistance.
