Description
“I’m a Mop Person” is a performance-based work that explores the fluid relationships between labor, memory, and identity. A mop person drags a huge mop across the ground—it’s part herself, part costume, part tool—leaving behind a trail of mud dirt and despair gesture. The action is repetitive, physical, quiet.
This work is fictional but draws from a personal history shaped in my past : my ancestor said hard-working is a good quality; now, I’m studying in a school, where the cleaning staff silently through the background. Their presence was constant, yet invisible. I was one of mopping person too, in the past.
The mopping action becomes a metaphor for how memory shifts over time—what we try to erase never fully disappears. This work reflects on how meaning, identity, and recognition are always in motion—deferred, transformed, and layered. Likes mud, its been mopped, but it still remains.
By placing this image in the public space of a billboard, the work invites viewers into a quiet confrontation. It asks: What do we choose to see? What have we been taught to ignore? And how do these quiet relationships shape the world we live in?
