WHITE PAPER - Collection Essay
Last weekend in China, it became unbearable for many people to keep pretending everything was well. When the worst keeps happening to you like in a loop, you can’t pull your best self together and tell it to keep marching on, no matter how tediously you lie to it.
People broke out of their orderly lines and spilled onto nearby and online streets. They spoke out with no words against Beijing’s zero-Covid policies. In silence, they held up blank sheets of paper to mirror the imposed censorship they endured for days, years, decades, generations. The empty pages spoke on their behalf: a wounded “I am” responding to a pounding “You are nothing.”
We’re painting people holding blank sheets of paper to honor how others find ways to free their trapped voices.
