“at night by grass & trees”
A chilling reminder that the boundary between self and void is as fragile as the night's fleeting whispers.” This original, multimedia performance explores the feeling of loneliness and loss of artistic self-worth that many of us felt during the pandemic. It is sure to stir up strong thoughts and feelings!
