A tale of adopted personas compellingly bound to one another, killing time on a rainy afternoon. They engage in a rhythmic and repetitive journey, one which is painful and unstable yet composed. A subtle and melancholic orchestration in which the artist stages her own death, threefold. Lingering shots reveal the self’s internal conflict, immersed within a storm of deceit, love, revenge, suicide and murder. Multiple personas are held captive, imprisoned within the confines of a staircase. Watchful and restless, all three are submerged within a solitary passing of time. Slowly, a melodrama unfolds, the fragmented self descends.
