My first days in the dump back in 2013, the flies really freaked me out, almost left the dump that first day early because of the incredible amount of flies crawling on me. Part of my "Families of the Dump" artist statement is about how I saw a young girl (the first I met in the dump) dealing with the flies and how it forced me to man up and stop being a baby. After that I dived into the dump, flies, rats, cockroaches, heat, smells and everything else. If that little girl (iiy-iiy) could take the dump conditions, with such kindness, grace and sweet smile, I needed to also. She helped me grow up a bit. I learn so much here.
Here we are in 2019, this video was shot today, think I am over the afraid and disgusted by flies thingy.
