Artist Statement

Sue Jo's documentation project aimed to highlight the diverse identities and experiences of deaf individuals, showcasing their ordinary nature and emotional depth. Each person she interviewed expressed a unique aspect of their personality, representing the richness of their individuality within the larger deaf community.

WORK IN PROGRESS:

In 2028, the future project plans to reconnect with the individuals previously interviewed by Sue Jo to explore how their identities and experiences have evolved. Through follow-up interviews, the project examines whether their sense of self or life experiences has undergone notable changes.

This project aims to present a comprehensive understanding of the long-term development and transformation of these individuals within the context of their deaf identities.
