Speaking Truth to Power

Speaking Truth to Power explores the dual nature of language and its ability to shape reality. Two confronting mouths symbolize this tension: one, marked Speak, emits corrosive, destructive words, while the other, labeled Power, radiates affirmations that heal and empower.

Through augmented reality, the mouths animate: the negative mouth spews words that corrode, while the positive mouth releases affirmations that spark growth. Virus-like forms emerge, representing the ripple effects of our words—whether as harmful contagions or catalysts for renewal.

This artwork highlights the transformative potential of language, urging viewers to consider the consequences of their words. Are they agents of harm or instruments of healing? The augmented reality experience deepens this reflection, making the often invisible power of communication tangible and visceral.

Speaking Truth to Power serves as a call to action, challenging us to use our voices to uplift, transform, and speak truths that shape a better world.
