Deborah Hazler

For Inge, From Deborah

 

I watched your work.

            How do you see yourself?

 

I saw strong daring simplicity.

            Do you see yourself for who you are?

 

I watched something delicate with soft angles.

Do you have to see your body, to know that you are there?

 

I heard the squeaking hinges of a door.

            How can we deal with the world outside?

           

I saw familiar shapes that you made unique in your body.

            Do you think there are patterns in your body that you aren’t aware of yet?

 

I saw a small body in a small space, perhaps wishing that the walls of protection were much further away.

            Can the wind take you somewhere you have never been?

 

I watched your hands tremble and your neck and your face turn slightly red.

            Which do you prefer?

 

I saw you lying on the floor - face down and still for a longer moment.

            Is there always the struggle of letting go and being in control?

 

I saw you watching yourself dancing on a video screen.

            Do you think we sometimes make things harder for ourselves?

 

I watched your hands and arms dancing together.

            Can familiar partners still surprise each other?

 

I watched you reflecting on your body.

I saw my reflection in your body.

A conceptual image of a person in motion, captured with overlapping silhouettes. The figure, wearing a black top and light blue pants, appears in multiple faded positions, suggesting movement or a layered temporal effect. The neutral background enhances the ethereal and dynamic quality of the image.
