Yearring
Acrylic
Year: 2024
For nearly two decades, I have worn hearing aids, not just as devices but as silent companions shaping how I experience the world. Like amniotic fluid, they offer quiet security, gentle yet powerful. Still, they are designed to disappear, as if invisibility equals
acceptance. What if they were meant to be seen, celebrated rather than hidden? My work reimagines them as wearable identity. Not everyone needs
them, but anyone can wear them. Visibility is power. Difference deserves to be seen.
Much like amniotic fluid cradles life, they offer a quiet sense of security—gentle yet powerful, unseen yet essential. And yet, they are designed to disappear, as if invisibility equals acceptance.But what if they were meant to be seen?
What if, instead of something to hide, they became something to celebrate? A statement of confidence, a bridge between self and the world.
My work reimagines hearing aids not as tools of necessity, but as expressions of identity—wearable art that frames who we are, much like a pair of glasses. Not everyone needs them, but anyone can wear them.
