Life Like Weeds
In this life like weeds, in this life like weeds
Eyes need us to see, hearts need us to bleed
In this life like weeds, you're a rock to me
I know where you're from, but where do you belong?’ -Life like Weeds by Modest Mouse
Through material, images, sound, and sculpture I will expose our weeds
