To Write; To Erase

10’ W x 15’ D x 7’ H

Printed on non-woven, pencils, erase, thread, and donated books from the community

History is written by the victors. - Winston Churchill 

This quote has become all the more relevant in our current political climate. It provokes questions about what is true and what isn’t regarding tradition and identity and brings to light the baggage or privilege each one of us carries with us. Wan uses rigid shirts to reflect the way individuals try their best to make a mark in history only to be shaped and controlled into a mold by others more powerful. Notions of this fight to write and not be erased are woven throughout the entire piece, from the sweeping curves of the shirts ending in rigid uniformity to the stacks of books which firmly hold them in place.
