perfectly happy
Can you recall a moment you were "perfectly happy"?
This is the question I am asking friends and loved ones Each story is recorded in the storytellers' native language (never English) and then put to an original musical score. The fact that I don’t understand the responses reflects the project’s theme - the mystery of happiness and the desire for connection despite the limits of language to convey feeling. We each live in our own emotional world. It is a world full of meaning and significance the vast amount of which we can never fully share with others - even those we are closest to. It is a reality we must reconcile ourselves to even as we struggle for intimacy, belonging, and love.
Note: This is a work in progress. Material posted here is still in development.
