Breaking the fault lines — a monitor on a white plinth against a black wall, playing a signed video

Using tectonic and lava imagery, ‘Breaking the Fault Lines’ frames Deaf epistemologies and sign languages as pressure that has been buried alive but never extinguished.

Rather than a history of loss, it traces transformation where signed languages expands through rupture, guided by courage, resistance, and continuity. In other words, this is a demonstration of what it means to be BIGBABA.
