In an attempt to reconnect creatively after Overbaugh returned home, this film synthesizes our creative tendencies around the subjects of change and belonging. Our intention was to break away from the format of the narrative short films we are used to collaborating on, opting to lean into the way video installation films typically run on a loop in gallery settings. The furniture alludes to the familiar setting of a home that the protagonist eventually leaves, while the mysterious object they encounter is symbolic of the unknown. The protagonist is trapped in the perpetual purgatory of a dream they cannot escape, calling into question the notions of free will and impermanence in a cyclical world.
