Sleeper I is a patchwork of found materials, one of which, Corchorus (otherwise known as jute), was cultivated and extracted under the British Empire. Tethered to a personal history in which Yousefzada's grandparents farmed similar 'cash crops', Sleeper I refers to the materials we choose not to see, asking us to 'lie' in that bed, acknowledging the unseen stories of which it is comprised. Its title not only references the bed, a site of dreaming and potential futures, but also the colloquial idea of something or someone being a 'sleeper'. The undervalued entity that lies unseen but in the public eye.
