WUP Art Project Semester
2025/26 WS I Can’t Tell You explores the dual nature of motherhood: the tension between the intimate nurturing and the paralyzing anxiety of external threats. Structured through contrasting sequences: slow and gentle care versus fast and disruptive interruptions. The video externalizes the mother’s silent struggle. A strict spatial duality anchors the mother to the dangerous “right” side to shield the innocent “left” where she keeps the daughter, visualizing the protective censorship required to preserve childhood innocence.
