I fight with them, with myself, with the chairs, with the air, with then, with now.

I sit, I rest, I play. I hide. I remember.

I forget.

But at the end of the day, it doesn’t matter, because I am myself.

Three selves at least.

Jasmine Fetterman uses a multi-disciplinary and research-based approach to explore the complex and fluid nature of identity as a universal concept throughout humanity.

King received their BFA degree 2021 from Cornish College of the Arts.
