Language, at it's basis, is a tool for communication. The English Language is in a continuous state of transience; forever shifting and upgrading to meet the needs of the new generation. We often use dictionaries as a rule book instead of a guide, but what does it mean when the rules are broken?
 
  ‘I Feel You Still’ is a photography and projection installation that demonstrates the intimacy of communicating in ways often not valued or deemed improper by broader society. Colloquial terms and phrases that gain prominence in small communities and subconsciously build solidarity as well as create homes in people. “I’m not going to say things the ‘right’ way but in ways that are filled with intimacy due to our shared experience.”
 

Growing up in Newham, East London, there was an understanding of how not to speak in more ‘professional ‘and ‘prestigious’ spaces, how to talk in a way that denotes intellect and demands respect which, ultimately, meant shedding what came naturally to you. But why? These ways of speaking have a purpose far beyond the essential transference of information.

Someone is hearing you and saying "I understand".
