Dialogue: 0,0:04:43.72,0:04:46.71,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,It could be felt tactually,

Dialogue: 0,0:04:53.05,0:04:56.31,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,So I decided to reclaim ownership of sound

Dialogue: 0,0:05:01.02,0:05:04.60,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,And everything that I had been\Ntaught regarding sound,

Dialogue: 0,0:05:44.01,0:05:46.49,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,And sound is so powerful
Dialogue: 0,0:05:46.51,0:05:50.27,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,that it could either\Ndisempower me and my artwork,

Dialogue: 0,0:05:53.14,0:05:54.68,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,I chose to be empowered.
Dialogue: 0,0:05:56.97,0:06:00.32,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,There's a massive culture\Naround spoken language.
Dialogue: 0,0:06:01.23,0:06:06.50,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,And just because I don't use\Nmy literal voice to communicate,

Dialogue: 0,0:06:12.94,0:06:16.86,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,So I need to work with individuals\Nwho can support me as an equal

Dialogue: 0,0:06:20.52,0:06:24.76,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,And that way, I'm able to maintain\Nrelevancy in society today.
Dialogue: 0,0:06:24.79,0:06:27.21,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,So at school, at work and institutions,
Dialogue: 0,0:06:27.24,0:06:29.56,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,I work with many\Ndifferent ASL interpreters.
Dialogue: 0,0:06:31.25,0:06:34.45,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,And their voice becomes\Nmy voice and identity.

Dialogue: 0,0:07:17.49,0:07:20.14,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,So with sound as my new art medium,
