Binary Burden
This artwork translates the artist’s lived experience of severe burnout into a visual language. After the birth of her second child, she found herself project-managing both her household and career, balancing an overwhelming mental, physical, and emotional load. For one month, she documented every aspect of this unseen labor and converted the words into binary code, making the invisible visible. This snapshot represents just two days of data—only a fraction of the full, extensive record—highlighting the sheer weight of the unacknowledged burdens many women carry at home.
This still from a video captures the artist physically embodying the exhaustion of invisible labor. The binary code, positioned as if being regurgitated, symbolizes the overwhelming, repetitive, and often unrecognized mental load carried in managing a household and family. By translating lived experiences into data, the work makes tangible the emotional and cognitive burden that remains largely unseen, yet deeply felt.
