Do you like who you are when you're with them

The question sounds personal because it is. It is also creative.

The people around the work change the work, and the work changes the room around it. Some people make the truth easier to reach. Some make you perform around it.

You can lose a whole voice trying to stay invited. You can call it loyalty, pressure, ambition, family, or love. The body usually knows the real name first.

This note stays here as a checkpoint: if the room makes the art smaller, leave the room.
