Trust
Trust, is a mobile nail salon constructed from an army parachute. Complete with everything required for a professional manicure. In the performance I invite one viewer at a time to enter a military parachute turned tent to receive a free manicure in exchange for conversation. This intimate experience creates a intimate space for viewer and artist to engage in conversation on sensitive topics such as globalism, racism, and environmentalism to the not so serious such as childhood memories, how their day was, cooking and family ancestry.
