Me, Too

           Me, Too - Forget Me Not - Wounded Heart

           Project ‘Me, Too’ is an attempt to embrace lovelorn women’s melancholic state of mind with three video art pieces. It looks for love’s contribution to a woman’s identity in lover’s absence. As the silent inner thoughts flow as subtitles, they compose a poetic narrative and backbone to the pieces. Women also tell their stories orally, along with audio symbols such as lullabies. Visually, ‘’Love is hers’’ is concerned with concepts such as being in the moment, deliberating one’s memories, the perception of time in one’s mind.  Freud says if one has lost a love object, the most obvious reaction is to identify oneself with it, making him a part of her own I. This mourning of emotions is melancholia, what Freud calls a proof to human inner self, and what gives us insight about human structure. The pieces are odes to these mourning periods. They long to identify with lost lover as moments of one’s uniting with its own self, as if it is uniting with the lost half of the twin soul of Aristophanes.
