This time it was in a supermarket among many other places. I had challenged myself to going everywhere with my accordion and playing as I went. We had attempted to communicate using the language of musical chords, rather than words. The supermarket had become a rather different experience for us, as did other places, and while taking action in something that I would not ordinarily do in such a place, I actually noticed more of the environment than I would have had I only gone for grocery shopping. The art is not just about demonstrating, but perhaps even more importantly, experiencing a different perspective myself as the creator of the perception.

Daily tasks such as checking my phone, reading email messages, even waiting for the bus, had become rather inconvenient for me, and as someone who does not have this fear, you would not be able to imagine how ubiquitous the clock is. Sometimes I go the whole day well and safe, and I turn my head and the watch of a stranger hits my glance. The world and existence in the world is a very different experience when one is obligated to mentally quantify the sensation of time passage. As for me, I can no longer bare this condition. I sought escape from that sensation of quantification. I continue.

Many times people ask me why my hair is asymmetrical; I respond with the question “why should it be symmetrical?” And then they ask me where I am from, and I never know how to answer this because I have grown up and lived in two separate worlds, or more, and glued them into one.
