I AM INTERESTED IN THE DICHOTOMIES OF EMOTION ASSOCIATED WITH ONE’S RELATIONSHIP TO SPIRIT, PLACE, AND SOUL. DEFENSIVENESS AND AGGRESSION, APATHY AND EMPATHY, AND THE INEVITABILITY OF EITHER ACCEPTANCE OR RESIGNATION ARE CONFLICTING EMOTIONS MOST DEAL WITH ON AN ON-GOING BASIS. WHILE NAVIGATING THROUGH A WORLD OF INTIMACY AND UNCERTAINTY, OF SATISFACTION OR REGRET, I AIM TO EXPLORE THESE STAGES OF EMOTION THAT ARE DIRECTLY BOUND TO THE ENVIRONMENT IN WHICH WE LIVE, WHETHER PHYSICALLY OR MENTALLY. DUE TO CURRENT SOCIAL TRENDS SUCH AS SOCIAL MEDIA AND THE RECENT COVID-19 PANDEMIC, WE ARE NOW LIVING IN A WORLD OF NEW UNCERTAINTY, DISENGAGEMENT AND ESTRANGEMENT. ADD IN QUALIFICATIONS OF PHYSICAL DISTANCE, AND OUR MENTAL, EMOTIONAL, AND RELATIONAL CAPACITIES SUFFER. THE PIECE, "SOME SAY WE DROWNED, SOME SAY THE RIVER CARRIED US TO SLEEP" REFERENCES THESE INWARD STRUGGLES ONE CARRIES IN A RELATIONSHIP. ARE THE CHARACTERS STRUGGLING OR BALANCED? ARE THEY LOVING ONE ANOTHER OR HINDERING?
