More about Inside Voices
This work was motivated by our volunteer work in a correctional facility in Santa Ana, CA. Our motivation was to bring attention to these individuals who are "separated" from the rest of the society and have no outlet to speak to their community members. The installation piece resembles a prison visit setup where audiences can listen to voices from
inside.
