The three-part video shows almost still footages of a flower arrangement and hears a secretly recorded conversation between the artist and her mother on the topic of death.
The title, Maybe You Wouldn't Be Sad, is lifted directly from the last spoken sentence by the artist's mother in the video. The name of this work comes from a personal and tender place with the intention to remember this idea — that the mother had determined and assumed that if there would be a resolution to her life, her children would not be sad about her eventual passing. It is actually a very surreal idea to hold because there will not a be an absolute confidence to foretell how one would feel in that moment of loss in the future even if it is a life well-lived.
