right. let me get, we got extra with the screen now i'm looking, you know, hanging, hang up. i know you though. i know, you know, i know i know enough for i haven't been on college this overseas with a room

with ah, i don't really know what the immediate future is going to hold. i mean, i can't stop the treatments. and i wish that i had a way to control this. oh

my 1st intention was passes to the side then i think to myself in every culture that i've studied death in there some kind of vessel, some kind of vehicle that takes them to their side. and part of me is like, i don't know what's out there. i don't know what the other side is, but i do know that i need a vessel and need to make my own vessel. and that feeling gives me a very big sense of security in something that i can't control. i can't control what's happening. thing inside of it, my body. but i can control the thing that i put it in.

so the project ah, will started off his finding a lamp and then progress from there. and i was pretty young to have such a a, an aggressive thing. yeah. so we went fur, we had to go full on so i had a dull woman sucked me hysterectomy and i lived down to removed a thanks. and so unfortunately when they found that it was pretty advanced and so it's now stage 4. it looks like it's about 3 years that i have left. so one thing i decided i wanted to do was i want to buy my own coffin and i want to carve the entire thing. so one of the things that i do is basically put might, might oh, i mean, a bunch of different sizes in here. i think i showed you this drawing before, but this one is the little bit about with life death kind of all right,

so we're gonna practice this guy on. you'll be your 1st like practice piece a project. it's become something that has been driving me and instead of driving me into every time i get very depressed and every time i begin to focus on what's to come, i go back to i gotta finish those things for debra.

ah. that i sure sure can. can we let me get back to you on that because i'm, i'm, i'm somewhere i'd, let me look at my schedule and get back to you on that one. thinking about how to talk to my family about it is very, very stressful. i can't just say i want to carve my own

coffee. i'm happy about mom. i'm taking off her birthday on friday. oh, we're going to see katie's line. it's a show, it's a, it's a broadway show at the walter cur. and then we're going to go for dinner tonight. so that's thursday and then so i'll go home and then i'll come back, come back to the in the me, i need an apartment. and i mean, just pick up like even just treatment days, like you don't have to come all the way. you can stay, well i would rent, i would rent 1st, but if it looked like it was something i could buy. yeah, i mean if you can do that, we're crazy. good investment. i mean, i'm beginning to think of what life would be like without me around. like things out. no, but i can, i haven't. i don't have to plan that. i know i, i understand what you're saying.

that was in a while. when did we do the other one? do you remember a couple months? so i'm going to come back for you to do appear mermaid, and then, well the mermaid also the can do a lines online. the lines of the lines of poetry. sorry about that. purple. i know it looks like a bruise or something, but it just says the central. yeah. it's a little around, you know, go down. yeah. very nice to feel like if you're okay, you're welcome to my little you take my cold little hand. i love you so much

since i made the decision to do this project, i went back and forth with thinking my family would be okay with it because there were times they could see that i was trying to give up. and i have to make sure that they know that this is not some kind of cry for help or suicide. ah the guess letting go of a lot of stuff that that i thought before and narrowing everything down to what's important like i wanted children who i'd like to have a daughter,

lou i was basically in the year that maybe was one of the last years i would have been able to have a child, and i didn't really think about it, but when someone tells you rocking over is anymore and like the chemo will make you sterile anyway. sometimes i would think about it and i would just get angry blue to to get through that loneliness. but i need this project

with thanks. i don't know what to do though you i, i am worried that that this hairline fracture had something to do with this because it didn't hurt. i put it just started turning bodies crumbling in pieces. sir. and sir serge, i just hope is a new thing. really bad. all right. well let me say one

02 1st. mm. mm. mm mm. oh. oh my god. ah, ah. lou ah ah ah.

i broke my my voice. oh my god sweetheart. oh great. really bad headache. oh you know what it was? i was so afraid to try to go near the feet. maybe i should use a smaller one. see like right there? strip on your no, no, you know, let me move it out of the room. no. just stand where you. it's better. it's better now. okay. ah, i'm working with the company that ships coffins. they said to me, we're going to set the date to deliver on the 24th. and so i can't wait for that part in the kind of propels mean thought word when i think about what it was

less than a year ago. i'm getting ready to start the final art project that i do see . oh i buddy. so i thought i'd talk about the current status of the project, especially during this time he cooled iris meltdown it pushing everything back. every company like every single person's effect. so

that doesn't bother me so much as it starts me cool. worry. and as soon as they closed the schools, i was like, yes, this is gonna push it back to me. i'm doing right stains, as far as they can, i can work. i can't really go out in even pick up a paper,

coffee or anything. so the problem is been mental. what's happening now is i need their art to like to schedule and she stays, my stomach hurts hence ah,

i remember freshly dug graves and i saw the trucks that had these boxes you don't know who's in them, there's something personal and my heart was like, ah, as my body starts to fail, i have such a limited time to do. the things that i wanna do with

is this not the most beautiful thing you have ever seen? i mean, it smells so good. usually how i roll. okay. so it's a white pine fan, literally buried in a white pine box. ah, this was the one i had a bill to size, so it's perfect size. it's just a little bit bigger than me. and they don't normally make this shape right here where the heart would be like my head is here, my heart would be here. we can do a remote lesson where you're, you're working on it and i'm doing,

i love the library we can. yeah. the way that we, when i oh, if wonderful, if you could see me, i'm smiling. honey, i can see your eyes are so beautiful. they are smiling, isn't it nice to me, but i need to explain to my family this project, keeping me rooted and grounded. and ultimately i just want to let them know that they didn't fail and it's the opposite. and i want them to be more of a part of it. ah, my father will understand it immediately. i don't know why he and i have that connection and i think you'll have different questions for me than the rest of the family does. ah.

beyond what he think i'm a different right. there's a couple things like i found this print which is view other than your quarantine and staten island, which i thought was cool. material fixed. yes. that is real. that's actual newspaper. on the hill. yeah. from the herald tribune. that isn't the so and then i love the lights. yeah. then this, i restored, i put this back together, was all broken pieces. it took a while for just wanna tell you my friends and you know the rambling in here and can. and then i've got the space out there to work on and for community stuff. and then i want to show you my lat. this is my big project i've been working on. so this would take it off. is my coffin or what are your name or my group?

yeah. who is it? where did you are? the. oh god. okay. ari. this way. oh oh. okay. this exactly fits me. so this is my, this is my barry hawk off and you like that? no, we really don't wanna mention, you know, we want to mention, i just want to make sure that i, this is my final a apartment. you know, that i end up in this i like the fact that it's not finished. it's not even as you tell me when you say that it's not finished, not even course. i wish i would have been done by now. if, if things have gotten better when it's okay. yeah, it's okay. yeah, but it's, it's not really about us. it's growing.

i think he didn't really get it the rest my family does not know that i will not tell your mother.

ah as long as i make this vessel my vessel as long as my family knows that i would like to be buried in it. and my family knows it's because of them and their love and support that i'm doing that i made the right decision ah,
