What will happened if someone died?, 2019
You Can’t See It
by Sagarkumar Galolia, 2019
“You Can’t See It” is a photographic and text-based exploration of invisible weight—those burdens carried quietly in the recesses of everyday life. Through fragmented confessions and private admissions, the project reveals the unseen architecture of anxiety, exhaustion, and quiet despair.
Amber Noris is both subject and mirror—standing in for the many who feel trapped in cycles of inadequacy, obligation, and unrelenting self-judgment. Each title becomes a fragment of internal dialogue, not just spoken but lived:
-
I can’t move by her own evokes the paralysis of inherited responsibility.
-
I can’t stop worrying about my sister discloses the intrusive persistence of care and guilt.
-
I got tired because my spoiled jerk boss gave me too much work embodies the violence of modern labor.
-
I want to escape from this life captures the raw desire for disappearance.
The language throughout is deliberately unpolished, at times grammatically fractured, to echo the disintegration of thought under emotional strain. These lines are presented not as captions, but as testaments—each statement inhabiting the space between diary entry, confession, and cry for help.
Visually, the work pairs stark, muted imagery with absence—empty rooms, blurred motion, shadowed figures barely present within the frame. The unseen becomes the protagonist: fatigue that has no face, worry that has no weight, futility that has no body. The viewer is invited into a space where narrative collapses into repetition: You decided you had a problem so you have a problem.
Ultimately, You Can’t See It is not about resolution. It is about bearing witness to the quiet persistence of struggle that resists simplification. By presenting these thoughts as both intimate and universal, the project challenges viewers to recognize the silent wars waged in minds and bodies around them every day.
The work insists: just because it can’t be seen, doesn’t mean it isn’t real.
