Artist Statement

Pause for a moment. Notice your breath.

The human body is constantly breathing, twenty-four hours a day, it becomes an unnoticeable experience, yet each breath is unique.

Through the use of a culturally charged object, the rice bowl, Bui attempts to explore her own lived experience, an experience whereby memory and cultural motifs collide, blurring the boundaries between perception and memory.

By using fragmentation, deconstruction of visuals and disjointed audio, “Harmonious Dissonance” creates a tense space in which audiences are confronted with the repetition and distortion of memory.

A manifestation of the unconscious.
