Marium M. Habib - What I Say and What I Mean

View through Artsy
What we say and what we mean are, more often than not, two separate things. The distance between them is not always large, but it is always there. We dress our thoughts and desires in language which conceals and distorts, shaped by awareness of others and of ourselves, by the need not to disturb and the equally urgent need to perform as the person we are perceived to be. For 'What I Say and What I Mean', Marium M. Habib troubles exactly this space between the surface and the secret.
