This work's narration involves a protagonist wandering throughout his home. The qualities of well known and safe reality transforms into a disruption of lucidity. A yearning to explore the abstract environment goes terribly wrong.

Silence can suggest unlimited space and can also mediate between the absence of sound and the presence of noise. Duration of the condition of silence impacts comfort levels. Darkness influences the mind's eye to perceive imaginative and animate, or real forms. Naturally, the need arises to identify a connection of the existing, unknown form to a prior confrontation. The awareness of surveillance significantly impacts behavior, perception of time and atmospheric qualities.

In the presence of these three conditions to anchor spatial experiences, this work explores through representation the nuanced and layered effects of the transitional existence between the rational and the imagined.
