Promise Me is a collection of live surveillance footage of my mother in our home in India as viewed and recorded on my device in New York between 2018 and 2020. The cameras were installed in our family home to watch over our sick pet five years ago. After our pet passed away, no one removed the cameras and they continued to watch us. I regained control of the surveillance camera to watch my mother, embracing my role as a caregiver to her and resolving my homesickness in a new country. The video is accompanied by spoken word, recordings of conversations with my mother, and songs played, hummed, and sung to each other through a distance of 8500 miles and a time difference of 9 hours between us. Using surveillance as a medium to watch my mother out of concern for her health, I subvert the oppressive nature of surveillance as a medium to track and control marginalized bodies throughout history and contemporary governance, raising questions on privacy, control, intimacy, and the work it takes to stay related to someone, even my mother.
