In hand calligraphy of a personal story, the long paper piece is suspended on a series of school desks. The childhood story is about having an incomplete alphabet growing up as a first generation American, put into the "special" class in public school, my classmates, and how we eventually learned about completeness. The writing has areas missing but is actually written with invisible ink. During the opening exhibition, I periodically heat the missing letters or words and eventually complete the alphabet.
